Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP). Campus Diadema. Instituto de Ciências Ambientais, Químicas e Farmacêuticas (ICAQF) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Assistant Professor at the Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP-Diadema), holds a degree in Biological Sciences from Paulista State University (Unesp) and a PhD in Sciences (Human Physiology) from the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, University of São Paulo (ICB-USP). He developed a post-doctoral project at ICB-USP and at Université Laval in Canada, where he studied the effect of polyphenolic extracts and bioactive compounds on insulin secretion, insulin action in peripheral tissues and inflammatory processes in metabolic diseases. He has expertise in neuroendocrine regulation and molecular mechanisms of action of glucocorticoids in pancreatic islets. He currently coordinates the Laboratory of Experimentation and Education in Physiology (LExEF), a research group focused on the development and investigation of active learning methodologies and educational technologies in human body education. His research focuses on learning sciences, active learning methodologies in biology education, smartphone-mediated scientific experimentation, as well as obesity and comorbidity prevention education. He is the Internationalization Coordinator of the Graduate Studies and Resarch Office of UNIFESP. Coordinator of the Teaching Committee of the Federation of Societies of Experimental Biology (FeSBE), and member of the Teaching Committees of the Brazilian Society of Physiology and American Physiological Society.

Experimentation is at the epistemological core of the scientific method in the school context. However, some primary and secondary education schools lack adequate equipment, laboratories, and science teachers with training for creating and developing scientific experiments. The São Paulo State curriculum presumes the learning of biology of the human body through the competence of analyzin…
Reduced glucose uptake in muscle cell triggered by insulin signalling impairment due to insulin receptor nitrosylation is a mechanism that contributes to the development of metabolic syndrome. Phenolic compounds from fruits and vegetables are likely to prevent metabolic syndrome through activation of AMPK, a protein that induces insulin-independent glucose uptake and inhibits inducible ni…
