He did his medical residency in psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry of the FMUSP Hospital das Clínicas, as completing an internship in neurology and a specialty program in psychiatric counseling.
He obtained a doctorate in 1992 with a thesis on psychopathological alterations in patients diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, under the guidance of Valentim Gentil Filho, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital of the Harvard University School of Medicine.
Miguel was one of the founders of the Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders Project Group, which was established in 1994. He defended a tenure thesis in 2003 on obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders.
Lines of research
Since 1992, Miguel has worked as a researcher, studying various themes related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, including comorbidities, potentiation of the effects of the medications employed, biological markers, and the neuronal circuits involved in the disease. He recently took charge of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Sector of the FMUSP Department of Psychiatry, with the objective of developing the field of child and adolescent psychiatry in Brazil. The focus of his research is on identifying individuals at risk for developing mental disorders, as well as on the development and testing of interventions to prevent such disorders, using developmental psychiatry as the point of reference.

Created in 2008, the INPD conducts research aimed at expanding knowledge in the area,4 within which the new paradigm is promoting mental health and protecting individuals who are vulnerable to psychiatric disorders.
