Researcher with a degree in Biomedicine (2003) and a specialization in Reproductive and Developmental Biology (2005) from the Federal University of Sao Paulo (UNIFESP). I earned my Master's degree (2010), PhD (2015), and postdoctoral studies (2021) in Sciences from UNIFESP, focusing on the reproductive effects of nicotine exposure during intrauterine development and lactation.I worked as a biomedical scientist at the Federal University of Sao Paulo from 2004 to 2018, participating in research projects in the area of reproduction. Since 2018, I have been an adjunct professor in the Department of Morphology and Genetics at UNIFESP, Sao Paulo campus, teaching Developmental Biology/Embryology to undergraduate students in the health field.Actively involved in teaching and administrative activities such as series coordination, course committee and teaching staff in the Speech therapy and Nursing courses at Unifesp.I advise students on extension projects, final papers, scientific initiation, and postgraduation (master's and doctoral students) through the Postgraduate Program in Structural and Functional Biology at UNIFESP and the Sapientiae Institute, in the research area of fertility, embryonic development, and reproductive toxicology. The main focus of my research has been evaluating the transgenerational effects of nicotine, through studies on epigenetic modifications in placentas, fetuses, and ovaries of first- and second-generation rats after maternal exposure.

Some reports indicate damages on fertility of offspring exposed to nicotine, the main component of cigarettes. The effects can occur during pre- and post-natal development, such as changes in the onset of puberty and variations in the sex hormones, both in males and females, inaddition to irregular reproductive cycles and anticipation of menopause. However, the data in the literature are …
Nicotine, the main component of cigarettes, is a potent pro-oxidant in biological samples. It is capable of altering the fertility potential of men and women, inducing the occurrence of defects in gametes. In oocytes, it affects the meiosis and maturation. As oocytes are susceptible to oxidative stress, this drug can provoke damage to cellular membrane, to change the oocyte maturation del…
Nicotine consumption during pregnancy is responsible for changes in embryonic and fetal development, which may have an epigenetic origin. The main epigenetic mechanisms consist of the addition of chemical groups directly to the DNA (where they interfere with the access of the enzyme responsible for transcription) or to histones (impacting on DNA compaction), and which do not affect the DN…
Studies show changes in the fertility of offspring exposed to nicotine, the main component of cigarettes. The effects can occur during pre- and post-natal development, such as changes in the onset of puberty and variations in the levels of sex hormones, both in males and females, besides irregularities in reproductive cycles and anticipation of menopause in women. Therefore, this work aim…
Smoking is one of the main causes of preventable death in the world and has a great impact on the health of smokers, including on reproduction. Studies point to changes in fertility of the offspring exposed to nicotine, the main component of cigarette smoking, during pre and postnatal development, such as irregular menstrual/estrous cycles and alteration in onset of puberty. However, the …
Nicotine, one of the main toxic components of cigarettes, is able to increase the production of free radicals acting as a powerful pro-oxidant in biological samples. Because it causes oxidative stress, it can cause damage to the gametes, inducing the occurrence of morphological and metabolic alterations, thus compromising reproductive capacity. Since the total number of oocytes is establi…
