Professor of the Department of Physiology at the School of Medicine of Ribeirao Preto, USP (FMRP-USP). Adjunct Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, George Washington University. He completed a Post-Doctorate at the Department of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University (2019-2023) and at the Dental School of Ribeirao Preto-USP (2017-2019). He completed his Ph.D. (2017) and master's degree (2013) in Sciences from the Postgraduate Program in Physiology at the Ribeirao Preto Medical School at the Autonomic and Respiratory Control Laboratory under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Benedito H. Machado. Physiotherapist from the Federal University of Vales do Jequitinhonha and MucurI (2011). He has experience in organ and systems physiology, emphasizing respiratory and cardiovascular physiology. He is interested in the following topics: neural control of breathing and circulation, baroreflex, chemoreflex, recording of autonomic and respiratory nerves and neurons, and systemic inflammation.

Obesity is a chronic and highly prevalent disease worldwide. Most obese individuals develop sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) manifested by recurrent upper airway obstruction during sleep (OSA) and obesity hypoventilation, defined as daytime hypercapnia in obese individuals in the absence of other underlying causes. There is no effective pharmacotherapy for SDB. Leptin, an adipose-produced…
The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is an inflammatory condition which affects the whole body and represents a serious threat. Endotoxemia, sepsis and its complications (septic shock and multiple organ failure) are the major cause of death in intensive care units worldwide, despite recent major technological advances. In spite of endotoxemia, hypertension is also a disease …
Most of the studies performed in our laboratory are involved with the respiratory modulation of sympathetic activity. Some of these studies showed changes in the respiratory-sympathetic coupling in the experimental model of hypertension induced by chronic intermittent hypoxia. After surgical removal of baroreceptors [sinoaortic denervation (SAD)] rats present high levels of sympathetic ac…
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a severe breathing disorder, characterized by periodic obstruction of the upper airways during sleep with eventual impact in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems as well as in the inflammatory status. OSA and its critical respiratory complications may be associated with obesity hypoventilation syndrome. Previous studies have documented the role of le…
