She obtained her Bachelor's degree in Chemistry at the Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen in Germany and her PhD degree in Physics at University of Kent at Canterbury (UK). She was for three years a Post-doctoral Fellow in the Radiology Department of the Clinics Hospital of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo, where she works currently as a Research Assistant in the MRI Section of the Department. Her research focus is in the application of quantitative MRI techniques in the study of neurological and psychiatric disorders, and in brain and muscle multinuclear "in vivo" MR spectroscopy. She is a PI of the CInAPCe project. Her teaching activities include mainly courses about MRI security and the Physical Principles of MRI imaging, and she is the coordinator of a postgraduation course in MRI for Biomedical professionals and technologists at the "Escola Permanente" of the Clinics Hospital of the University of São Paulo.

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging techniques offers biophysical information regarding biological tissue in a quantitative way, giving higher accuracy in determining and characterizing biological tissues compared to qualitative images. Processing of these maps envolves the use of sophisticated models in which a theoretical or empirical model is imposed over the signal. Therefore, und…
In the scope of mood, the clinical diagnosis of bipolar disorder, in those who have not yet presented episodes of hypomania or mania, becomes difficult as it presents some similarities with unipolar depression.Therefore, this research seeks to use the DTI (diffusion tensor imaging) technique by magnetic resonance imaging as a potential additional assessment tool in differentiating between…
Despite the well-established benefits in the scientific literature of practicing sports, some practices present risks to head trauma. Traditional examples - with scientific evidence backing them up - are boxing and American football. However, soccer players are also subjected to several episodes of head trauma during their careers. These traumas can happen with collisions with the metal b…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease, which causes inflammatory lesions in the brain and spinal cord. Patients frequently present some kind of cognitive deficit, particularly in the processes involving memory and learning, even in the early stages of disease. This might indicate the presence of disease burden in the hippocampus of these patients. By means of proton magnetic …
