CV Lattes
Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Faculdade de Engenharia Química (FEQ) (Institutional affiliation for the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in Industrial Chemistry at the Federal University of Sergipe (1972), Graduated in Chemical Engineering at the State University of Maringá (1976), Master in Food Engineering at the State University of Campinas (1980), Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering at the State University of Campinas (1988) and Post-Doctorate in Chemical Engineering from North Carolina State University (USA) (1993). She joined the Faculty of Chemical Engineering (FEQ) at the State University of Campinas in 1972, was Full Professor and head of Department of Biotechnological Processes, and Department of Materials and Bioprocess Engineering. She was Coordinator o f Graduate Students and has experience in teaching Chemical Engineering at undergraduate and graduate levels. She coordinated the Laboratory for the Development of Biotechnological Processes, where she developed research in three main lines: 1. Encapsulation and controlled release of drugs and cosmetics using nano and micro structures (particles and fibers). 2.Submerged and solid state fermentation for the production of hyaluronic acid and humic acids. 3. Production and Characterization of Platelet-Rich Plasma for Regenerative Medicine applications. Elected full member of the National Academy of Engineering (2014); Zerefino Vazde Scientific Productivity Award (2002; 2015). Graduated from the American Academy of Regenerative Medicine ("American Board of Regenerative Medicine - South America Chapter") (2016). She retired from Unicamp on 06/2021. She is currently a researcher at the company NanoBioplus Pesquisas Tecnológicas Ltda. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous product prepared from whole blood with high capability to stimulate tissue regeneration. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the main component of synovial fluid, which has multiple functions in viscossupplementation and cell signalization. In the last five years, the association of free HA and PRP has been produced clinical benefits to regenerative orthope…
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an autologous therapy, non-immunogenic, which can stimulate and accelerate tissue regeneration. Several clinical studies have shown that PRP and growth factors are considered potent stimulant for soft tissue regeneration, since they are involved in the angiogenic process and extracellular matrix and bone tissue reconstruction. Despite the intense use of this…

The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous product obtained from the whole blood, which has been clinically used in various fields of regenerative medicine, because of its ability to stimulate tissue regeneration. In the modern classification of the blood concentrates, the P-PRP (pure-PRP, which is rich in platelets and poor in leukocytes) and L-PRP (rich in platelets and leukocytes)…
The glycosaminoglycan hyaluronic acid (HA) is the main component of the synovial fluid of the joints. The functions and HA applications in health are associated primarily to its structural characteristics, and possible chemical modification of the polymer, which determine their rheological properties, solubility, hydration and specific cell recognition. In clinical practice, the associati…
Humic acids (HA) are organic macromolecules with numerous properties and high structural complexity. These acids have prophylactic and therapeutic activities, such as antiviral, pro-fibrinolytic, anti-inflammatory and estrogen, and are able to prevent stomach and intestinal problems, contribute to increased immunity, and protect against some cancers. Moreover, AH were recently recognized …

The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous product obtained from the whole blood, which are able to stimulate tissue regeneration. The PRP is composed of platelets, which are rich in growth factors (GFs) and leucocytes (called L-PRP) that have specific functions on cellular process, such as angiogenesis, mitogenesis, chemotaxis, proliferation and differentiation. GFs are one of the t…
The incidence of age-related diseases is increasing and seriously affecting millions of people around the world. Even with the progress of regenerative medicine, current therapies still have numerous limitations. Thus, there is an increasing search for innovative technologies and cost-effective approaches that focus primarily on patient comfort. In this context, products based on hyaluron…
