Bachelor's Degree in Biological Sciences at the University of São Paulo (2008). Obtained his master degree (2011) and his PhD (2016) at the Instituto de Biociências (IB-USP), acting on the following subjects: subterranean rodents, activity/rest, photic and non-photic synchronization of circadian rhythms, food-availability cycles. Ongoing post-doc at IB-USP, working on the subjects: photoperiodism, circadian oscillators, mathematical modelling, clock genes. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Photoperiodism is the temporal adjustment of physiology and behavior to the annual variation of day length, allowing synchronization to the seasons. In this project, we intend to study photoperiodism in two physiological processes involving circadian oscillators, with a theoretical approach based on computer simulations. First, we are going to evaluate the photoperiodic processing in a su…
Daily rhythms are found in the physiological and behavioral variables of all living beings. Even in the absence of cyclic environmental cues, most of these rhythms persist, but in this case they assume a period that is close to, but different from 24 hours. Therefore, these endogenous rhythms are named circadian rhythms. In a natural environment circadian rhythms present a 24-hour periodi…
In mammals, daily rhythms in physiology and behavior are regulated by a circadian system, composed of a central oscillator in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and peripheral oscillators in all body tissues. In central and peripheral oscillators, a self-sustained rhythm is generated by an intracellular mechanism composed of interlocked molecular transcriptional/translational feedback loop…
Doing the right thing at the right time of the day is important for survival, hence most living organisms present 24-hour (daily) variations in their activities and physiology. In many cases these daily rhythms are sustained even in artificial constant conditions of the laboratory, due to endogenous clock mechanisms which generate rhythmicity, with periods close to the 24 hours of the env…
