Roberto was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil and raised in Toronto until the age of 7, while his parents pursued their PhDs at University of Toronto.
After moving back to Porto Alegre, he continued his education and completed both Medical School and General Surgery Residency in Porto Alegre at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul.
During his surgical training in Brazil, he started a clinical trial to investigate the effectiveness of different surgical training strategies over the acquisitions of robotic surgical skills.
In 2015, Roberto moved back to Toronto to pursue his PhD in Cardiovascular Science. Specifically, he has been investigating myocardial preservation using Ex Situ Heart Perfusion and transplantation of hearts donated after circulatory death.
