Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas (ICB) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in Biological Sciences at the University of Sao Paulo (1991), graduated in Biology Teaching at the University of Sao Paulo (1991) and PhD in Cell and Tissue Biology at the University of Sao Paulo (1997). She was a posdoc at New York University (2001); She is currently Full Professor at the Dept of Cell and Developmental Biology, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, University of Sao Paulo. She has experience in Cell and Tissue Biology, acting on the mechanisms that control growth and development in the gastrointestinal mucosa, using models to manipulate feeding during childhood, especially breastfeeding interruption. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses and also is involved in outreach activities. She is has a collaboration as researcher at the Centro Tecnológico dos Fuzileiros Navais (CeTecCFN). Currently, she acts as the Dean at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at USP, coordinates the Network of Animal Facilities at USP, is a member of committees at USP, is counselor for board of the Brazilian Society for Cell Biology, and represents Brazil at the International Committee of the American Society for Cell Biology.

The gastric mucosa in the corpus area is constituted of tubular glands that open to the surface through pits, and in these glands three regions are identified: isthmus, neck and base. Proliferative cells are concentrated between the isthmus and the neck of the gland, but the gland base presents a secondary niche for zymogenic cells cycle. During postnatal development, the proliferative ni…
The main functions of the gastrointestinal tract are the digestion and absorption of nutrients mediated by specialized cells of the epithelial tissue. The activity of development, renewal and regeneration is controlled by the niche of intestinal stem cells located at the base of the crypts, however it is still unknown how this niche of proliferative cells behaves in face of alterations in…

The gastric body is the main region of the digestive process and is composed of tubular glands lined by gastric pits. In adult animals, these glands are subdivided into isthmus, neck and base, which contain different epithelial populations responsible for the digestion of food particles through the action of digestive enzymes such as pepsin (zymogenic cells) and acid secretions such as hy…
The gastrointestinal tract main functions are digestion and absorption of nutrients, which are mediated by epithelial cells in the mucosa. In the intestine, the growth, maintenance and regeneration depend on the activity of crypt stem cells, which are in a niche at the bottom of the crypt. This niche contains the Paneth cell population. and it is sorrounded by the lamina propria that host…
In the stomach the region of the gastric corpus contains glands that are divided into three segments: isthmus, colon and base, each containing different epithelial cells and these are responsible for tissue renewal, production of molecules that act in food digestion, mucosa protection and hormone secretion. Two proliferative niches are identified, one active at the isthmus-neck interface …
