Tania Viel holds a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from Sao Paulo State University "Julio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP, 1995), a Master's degree in Pharmacology from the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP, 1998), and a Ph.D. in Sciences with an emphasis in Pharmacology from the same institution (UNIFESP, 2003).Currently, she is an Associate Professor at the School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities (SASH) of the University of Sao Paulo (USP), where she teaches undergraduate courses in Gerontology and Biotechnology. She also serves as the Coordinator of the Undergraduate Program in Biotechnology (SASH/USP), Vice-Chair of the Undergraduate Studies Committee (SASH/USP), Professor in the Graduate Program in Functional and Molecular Biology (Institute of Biomedical Sciences/USP), and Coordinator of the Laboratory of Neuropharmacology of Aging (LaNE SASH/USP).Her research experience includes pharmacological screening of natural products and investigations in neurotransmission, with a focus on neuroplasticity during the natural aging process, cell senescence, neurochemical aspects of Alzheimers disease, and strategies to improve cognitive function, including physical activity, environmental enrichment, and nutritional interventions.

Life expectancy has been increasing year by year, and ages that have not been reached have become common in Brazil and worldwide. The aging process is associated with cellular changes that influence the function of tissues and organs. An important mechanism related to this process and which appears to be a factor related to many diseases linked to age is cellular aging. It is believed tha…

Neurodegenerative diseases are consequences of pathological aging. Among them, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent, as it generates a gradual loss of memory and its effects make it one of the first four causes of death in developed countries. A very similar disease, the Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (DCS), also affects dogs, which makes them excellent animal mode…
As the population longevity increases, there is also a higher incidence of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, which is the most common cause of the dementia syndrome. Although its causes are still unknown, studies have shown that the main leading mechanism of AD is oxidative stress, which also plays an active role in the cell aging process. This is characterized by th…
Despite the fact that physical training promotes cardiovascular and cognitive benefits, there are still doubts regarding the ability of the body to preserve the benefits of exercise for cognitive function after the cessation of training or activity. In our research group, we found that intense physical exercise (180 min / day, 5 days a week for 4 weeks) promoted improves in memory and inc…

The aging process has attracted the world's attention due to the increased incidence of debilitating and chronic conditions in elderly populations. The number of elderly people is growing throughout the world. Together with this phenomenon, important social, economic, environmental and health challenges have emerged. The interest for studies to better understand biological changes during …
