Mrs. Amanda Gollo Bertollo | Neuropharmacology | Best Researcher Award

Federal University of Santa Catarina | Brazil

Mrs. Amanda Gollo Bertollo is an accomplished biomedical and neuroscience researcher with extensive experience across molecular biology, genetics, and biomedicine. Currently, she serves as a Biology Expert at Turing, providing expert review and guidance on molecular biology and genetics tasks to ensure scientific accuracy in AI-driven projects. She is pursuing her Ph.D. in Neurosciences at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, focusing on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal and gut-brain axes in the biological interaction pathways of depression. Her research portfolio spans neuroscience, psychiatric disorders, and molecular mechanisms underlying mental health conditions.Previously, Mrs. Bertollo completed her Master’s in Biomedical Sciences at the Federal University of Fronteira Sul, where she conducted advanced research, authored, and critically reviewed scientific publications. She has also gained hands-on clinical and teaching experience as a Portuguese Writing Specialist at Outlier, a Personal English Teacher, and an English Instructor at Wizard Idiomas, developing personalized curricula and evaluating the accuracy of academic and creative content. Her practical biomedical training includes supervised internships in neurology at Western Regional Hospital and at the Family Health Center, where she contributed to patient care and clinical research activities. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the Federal University of Fronteira Sul, providing a strong foundation in patient care, biomedical research, and clinical practice. Additionally, she is pursuing undergraduate studies in Computer Science, reflecting her interdisciplinary approach bridging computational methods with biological and clinical research.Mrs. Bertollo has authored and contributed to numerous influential publications, including “Hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal and gut-brain axes in biological interaction pathway of the depression,” “Neurobiological Relationships Between Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Mood Disorders,” and “Biological rhythms and psychiatric symptoms in COVID-19 individuals: a cross-sectional multicentric study.” Her work further explores topics such as the impact of melatonin on cytokine storms and purinergic receptor modulation for COVID-19 prognosis, dementia and depression connections with amyloid β protein, early life stress and major depressive disorder, depressive-like behaviors influenced by Centella asiatica extracts, neurobiological mechanisms in the kynurenine pathway, peripheral biomarkers predicting COVID-19 prognosis, and the role of ABO blood type and metabolic markers in COVID-19 susceptibility and severity. Through her multidisciplinary research, Mrs. Bertollo has made substantial contributions to the understanding of neurobiological pathways, psychiatric disorders, and the clinical implications of metabolic and immunological biomarkers, establishing herself as a rising expert in neurosciences and biomedical sciences.
