Graduated in Biomedicine at University of Santo Amaro (2001). She completed a Direct Doctorate (2006) and Post-Doctorate (2007) at the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at University of São Paulo. The research developed in this period, addressed the role of the Renin-Angiotensin System in the development of cardiac hypertrophy promoted by the thyroid hormone, as well as the actions of these hormones in the global modulation of gene expression. She is an Associate Professor at the Federal University of ABC developing a line of research on the impact of the inflammatory response and the immune system on cardiovascular changes observed in the context of Cardiorenal Syndrome. She has experience in the areas of cell biology, molecular biology, cardiovascular physiology, inflammation and renal failure. It has scientific projects funded by FAPESP and CNPq. Coordinates extension projects aimed at courses in ethics and research integrity for high school students from public schools. From 2012 to 2014 she was academic advisor to the UFABC Research Dean, becoming UFABC's Assistant Research Dean until early 2015. Between 2015 and 2018 she was Provost for research of UFABC.

In the current stage of medicine, the clinical diagnosis of a patient is obtained through the analysis of clinical examinations, comparison with standard values of physiological and genetic parameters, high-precision medical images and detection of metabolites in biofluids such as blood or urine. However, even with a broad arsenal available for characterization and measurement of homeosta…
Cardiorenal Syndrome is characterized by the presence of a systemic inflammatory condition where different clinical conditions promote cardiac and renal dysfunction. It has five different types where the first two (types 1 and 2) are associated with abnormalities in cardiac function that cause injury or renal dysfunction; the type 3 and 4 that are characterized by renal insults that subje…
The immune system interacts with several different tissues and organs of the human body, for example, the heart tissue. In diseases that generate a systemic inflammation, some factors are released in the blood stream and they are able to reach the most diverse organs, promoting interaction between tissue cells and immunity cells. It is known that renal insufficiency (RI) is characterized …
Cardiac remodeling occurs primarily as an adaptive response to an increase in demand, commonly resulting in the so called cardiac hypertrophy. The heart is a target organ in many regulatory systems, such as hormones, neuronal and hemodynamic factors, which modulate heart trophism direct or indirectly. Besides these actions, largely described in the literature, it is well known the heart i…

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the cause of most deaths, due not only to genetic factors, but above all, environmental factors, due to the modern lifestyle. However, they may be secondary to other diseases, such as cardiorenal syndromes (SCRs). Cardiorenal syndromes are diseases that demonstrate the intense connection between the functioning of the kidneys and the heart and are subdivi…
Cardiovascular changes associated with SARS-CoV-2 have been the subject of numerous studies in the world scientific community. Patients affected by the new coronavirus have an important systemic inflammatory condition, responsible for damage to various tissues, especially heart, kidneys and vessels. Still, it is already well known that the heart and kidneys have a close relationship and a…
Cardiorenal Syndrome (CRS) is defined as a pathological relationship involving the kidneys and the heart, whose damage or injury to one of these organs is capable of leading to damage to the other organ. SCR is divided into five subtypes, according to the organ that was first injured and the period of injury (acute or chronic). SCR3 is characterized by acute kidney injury as a cause of ca…
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis and represents 45% of deaths. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a common pattern of cardiovascular injury in chronic kidney disease that affects up to 75% of individuals when it affects end-stage renal disease. In addition, renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is the major cause of acute kidney…

The cardiorenal syndrome type 3 (CRS3) consists of a complex and pathological condition involving the kidney and heart, characterized by an acute cardiac injury and failure caused by acute kidney injury (AKI), mainly due to the ischemic AKI. Several mechanisms were reported to participate in the CRS3 pathophysiology, such as the well-known neurohormones hyperactivation, oxidative stress a…
