AMANDA GODOT THOMAZ

AMANDA GODOT THOMAZ is a Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry with active research in neurobiology, oncology, and cell biology. She is affiliated with an unnamed university department but collaborates internationally, including a 2025 visiting researcher position at Lancaster University. Her work focuses on molecular mechanisms in neurological disorders and oncology, particularly pediatric brain tumors and neurotrophin signaling pathways.

Research Interests: Amanda’s research explores brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), pediatric brain tumor biology, pharmacological inhibition of oncogenic pathways (TrkB/EGFR), and mechanisms of cancer cell survival (e.g., centrosome clustering). Her work bridges molecular biology with clinical applications, targeting drug resistance in cancers like medulloblastoma and glioblastoma.

Recent Research Trends: Recent articles (2020–2025) emphasize drug resistance mechanisms in pediatric cancers, in vitro modeling of neurodevelopmental disorders, and protein regulation in cancer cell survival. Her work frequently intersects with pharmacology and translational medicine.

Collaborations & Activities: Active collaborations span institutions globally, with a focus on interdisciplinary cancer research. In 2025, she held a visiting researcher position at Lancaster University.
