Ana Claudia Oliveira Carreira Nishiyama

Ana Claudia Oliveira Carreira has experience in areas of Human and Animal Biotechnology, Anatomy and Morphology, Biochemistry and Cell Therapy, with emphasis on Molecular Biology and Cell Biology. Her research involves analysis of stem cell secretome signaling, gene cloning, genomic editing (CRISPR-Cas9), regulation by microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, 3D cultivation, production of proteins using different recombinant systems (bacteria, yeast, insect and mammalian cells, also focusing on the functionalization of biomaterials and decellularized extracellular matrices. She leads the Laboratory of Biotechnology and Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering and the Laboratory of Biomolecules and Cellular Signaling. Dr. Carreira is the author of numerous scientific articles, patents, books, and scientific divulgation articles. She works in three major areas of human and animal research, as well as alternative methods to animal use: Extracellular Matrices and Stem Cells: Applications in Bioengineering and Cellular Therapy; Control of Cellular Proliferation and Neoplasm Origin; and Biopharmaceutical Production in Mammalian and Insect Cells for Tissue Regeneration, Human, and Animal Health. Her research models include placenta, endometriosis, breast cancer, and bioengineering of swine reproductive tissue and hepatic and pancreatic tissues in dogs and cats. She is currently an Associate Professor and Researcher at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC), a member of the Structuring Teaching Nucleus (NDE) of the Biotechnology Bachelor Course at UFABC, Animal Ethical Committee (UFABC), and a professor in the graduate programs Anatomy of Domestic and Animal Science (PPGAADS) at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science at USP and Biosystems (PPGBIS) at UFABC. Dr. Carreira collaborates as a researcher with the NUCEL Group of Cellular and Molecular Therapy at the School of Medicine of USP, the National Institute of Science and Technology in Regenerative Medicine (INCT-Regenera), and the National Network of Cellular Therapy (RNTC). She maintains collaborations with several universities and institutes in Brazil and abroad, including Case Western Reserve University (USA), Ohio State University (USA), University of California San Diego (USA), Children's Hospital Los Angeles/USC-University of Southern California (USA), Rutgers-The State University of New Jersey (USA), Purdue University (USA), Texas AM University (USA), Université de Montreal (Canada), University of Oslo (Norway), Universidad de La Frontera (Chile), promoting international student mobility. She works in Science Education, organizing courses and educational materials for teaching Biotechnology and Sciences at various educational levels (Elementary School, High School, Undergraduate, and Graduate). Dr. Carreira holds a Bachelors and Licentiate degree in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). During her undergraduate studies, she was a scholarship holder in the Special Training Program (PET) by CAPES and participated in various teaching, research, and community outreach activities in São Carlos City (Brazil). She completed a direct Ph.D. in Sciences (Biochemistry) at the Institute of Chemistry of USP, specializing in Protein Biochemistry and Heterologous Expression of Membrane Proteins. She also completed her postdoctoral research at USP in the fields of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Clinical Medicine, and Biotechnology, with with internships abroad.ORCid: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9142-1155 Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=enuser=wqTn91IAAAAJhl=pt-BR ResearchID: https://www.webofscience.com/wos/author/rid/B-7655-2012 (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
