Graduated in Biomedical Sciences from the University of São Paulo (USP- 2014-2017), with Scientific Initiation and Master in Sciences from the University of São Paulo (2016-2020), and PhD in Sciences from the University of São Paulo (2025) where she developed scientific work to study neuropathic pain and treatments with neurostimulation. She did an exchange (sandwich master's degree) at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, developing research work with optogenetics to study neural pathways associated with neuropathic pain. During her doctorate, she carried out translational research in an experimental model and with patients to characterize the mechanisms and the effect of photobiomodulation in post-herpetic neuralgia. She has CRBM-1 qualification in teaching and research. She has experience in teaching and research in Sciences, with an emphasis on neurophysiology of pain, neuroanatomy and neuroscience.

Herpetic (HN) and Post-Herpetic (PHN) Neuralgia constitute herpes zoster pain, presenting as burning spontaneous pain, allodynia and hyperalgesia. Although the literature indicates inflammatory and neuropathic processes as possible causes for HN and PHN, the mechanisms described are still innacurate and animal models do not completely describe central and peripheral sensitization in nervo…
Neuropathic pain is one of the most rebellious conditions to the analgesic treatment, making the search for new therapies for this type of pain extremely urgent. The protocol of the electrical stimulation of the insular cortex (ESI) standardized by our group was effective for the treatment of rats with neuropathic pain, which was also able to alter the neuronal activity of regions that ar…
The injury to the peripheral nerve results in persistent or chronic neuropathic pain, characterized by the presence of allodynia and hyperalgesia. The treatment of the neuropathic pain is ineffective due to inadequate understanding of its cellular and molecular mechanisms involved, and the patients are refractory to currently available treatments. The electrical brain stimulation is an al…
Neuropathic pain is one of the most rebellious conditions to the antalgic treatment, making the search for new effective therapies extremely urgent. Insular cortex is a new potential target for neuromodulation once it is closely involved in central pain integration and modulation and it is deeply affected in neuropathic pain states. We have recently demonstrated that electrical stimulatio…
