Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Campus de Bauru. Faculdade de Ciências (FC) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Holds a bachelor's degree in Medical Physics from the University of São Paulo, a master's degree and a doctorate in Physics Applied to Medicine and Biology from the University of São Paulo (USP-RP). Completed a post-doctorate in Materials Science at Unesp Bauru. Visiting Researcher at Harvard University in Cambridge, USA. Currently, she is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Sciences at UNESP - Bauru, teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students. She has experience in identifying metals in environmental samples and human tissues and in studying the impact of pollution and bioclimatic variables on health. She is currently studying the role of environmental factors in neurodegenerative diseases and the application of nanomaterials in theranostics. She works as an advisor in the Postgraduate Program in Materials Science and Technology (POSMAT), developing research in the Group of Physics Applied to Medicine and Nanotechnology (GFAMN).

This project aims to establish a collaboration between São Paulo State University (UNESP, Brazil) and the University of Southern Denmark (SDU, Denmark). The collaboration will bring together Brazilian expertise in nanomaterials and neurodegeneration models with Danish leadership in advanced bioimaging techniques. Our hypothesis is that environmental factors such as metallic nanoparticles …
With increasing life expectancy, the rising incidence of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) is one of the greatest public health challenges worldwide, with a growing impact on quality of life and the economics of healthcare systems. Although genetics plays a fundamental role in the predisposition to these diseases, environmental factors are often underestimated and neglected. Recent studies…
The study of the elemental composition of atmospheric air near the surface by analytical methods has increased in recent years, mainly due to increased emissions and the impact of this pollution on the environment and health. Trace elements such as aluminum, lead, mercury, among others, represent an important fraction of air pollution, and their emission sources highly characterized by an…
O bolsista TT-4A será responsável por administrar e implementar protocolos experimentais utilizando o modelo in vivo de Drosophila melanogaster. Além de preparar e manter as condições experimentais ideais para a criação das moscas, o bolsista coordenará as atividades do laboratório, organizando os experimentos em colaboração com estudantes de graduação e pós-graduação. Ele orientará os al…
Neurodegenerative diseases represent an increasing public health challenge, and the fundamental role of the gut-brain axis in their pathogenesis is becoming increasingly clear. This project proposes to study the metabolic changes induced by neuroprotective compounds - acetate and curcumin - and neurotoxic compounds - heavy metals and magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles - in Drosophila mel…
The aim of this project is to investigate the synthesis and characterization of carbon dots (CDs) functionalized with acetic acid, using soybean (Glycine max) as a carbon source, to study their potential application in gut-brain axis communication and neurodegenerative diseases. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as acetate, play important roles in both the digestive and central nervou…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by causing damage to the myelin sheath, which, when damaged, impairs the efficient conduction of neural impulses. The cause of MS includes genetic and environmental factors that contribute to the risk of the disease. Although this disease is believed to be multifactorial in etiology, studies point to a role for environmental e…
Among the many diseases that can be associated with climatic conditions is Multiple Sclerosis (MS), which consists of an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, causing demyelination in neuronal cells. In this work, the influence of climate and meteorological variables on the number of hospitalizations for Multiple Sclerosis in different regions of Brazil will be evalu…
Among the numerous diseases that can be associated with climatic conditions is Varicella, which consists of the primary infection of the varicella-zoster virus, predominantly a childhood disease in unvaccinated populations. It is characterized by a vesicular skin eruption, frequently accompanied by fever and feeling of discomfort. In this work, the influence of meteorological variables as…

Opsins are membrane proteins acting as light sensors in animals, switching from a resting state to a signaling state after absorption of a photon in phototransduction processes. These proteins are involved in various visual and non-visual photoreceptive functions such as regulation of physiological processes, photorelaxation, regulation of circadian rhythm, control of melatonin secretion …
