PhD student in Nephrology at the Federal University of São Paulo, with a thesis entitled "Analysis of mitochondrial function and the generation of reactive oxygen species in the development of diabetic nephropathy in Goto Kakizaki rats", with the help of CAPES. She holds a master's degree in health sciences from Universidade Cruzeiro do Sul, a period in which he investigated how cell communication mediated by exosomes between podocytes and mesangial cells contributes to fibrosis, being a FAPESP scholar. She has a degree in Biological Sciences (baccalaureate) from Universidade Cruzeiro do Sul, with scientific initiation carried out at the Institute of Physical Activity and Sport (ICAFE), also with FAPESP scholarship.

Abstract
In hypoxia both tubulointerstitial and glomerular injury are observed. The podocyte is one of the first cells subjected to ischemia and, in the glomerulus, the mesangial cells are in opposition to the podocyte, separated only by the basement membrane. Thus, it is possible to suppose that a mechanism of intercellular communication occurs, especially in injurious conditions such as hypoxia.…

Abstract
Cyclosporine-A is an immunosuppressive agent widely used for controlling various kinds of rejection in transplants, including kidney. However, its use is associated with acute and chronic nephrotoxic injury. Chronic toxicity associated with cyclosporin involves an increase in the resistance of afferent and efferent arterioles, decreased renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate, ren…
