Caroline is currently a post-doc at Dr. Eric Liaos lab, to study the genetics of craniofacial malformation using zebrafish as an animal model. She completed her Ph.D. in September 2022 at University Paris-Cité, in France, where she studied the genetics of early-onset osteoporosis using cell lines and zebrafish. She earned her B.S. in biology/biotechnology from University of São Paulo State (UNESP campus de Jaboticabal), and her M.S. in genetics/endocrinology from University of São Paulo Medical School (FMUSP) in Brazil. Her studies involved gene characterization in congenital hypopituitarism. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The stem cellsare characterized by their capacity for proliferation, self-renewal and potential differentiation. Stem cells has been described in cell renewal and homeostatic regulation of the pituitary gland, but little is known about its expression profile in hypopituitarism. The Nr2e1 gene, known marker of neural stem cells during embryogenesis and mouse brain at adult life, was found …
This project aims to test the hypothesis that Prop1 regulates Nr2e1 expression that could be responsible for pituitary proliferation and differentiation. Nr2e1 is an orphan nuclear hormone receptor that is essential for neural stem cell maintenance and neogenesis, but none is known in pituitary. Ames dwarf mice harboring spontaneous mutation in Prop1 gene have congenital hypopitutiarism w…
