PhD in Molecular and Morphofunctional Biology from the Institute of Biology at UNICAMP. Holds a Bachelor's and Teaching Degree in Biological Sciences from Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas (PUC Campinas). Throughout her undergraduate studies and PhD program, she focused on the study of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease, with an emphasis on investigating neuroprotective factors in animal models. Her expertise includes advanced techniques in cellular and molecular biology, with a focus on mechanisms of regeneration and neuroprotection. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by muscle weakness, slurred speech, and dysphagia, leading to atrophy and paralysis. It involves more than 20 gene mutations, with C9orf72, SOD1, and TARDBP being the most prevalent. Late onset hinders early diagnosis, as symptoms only appear after approximately 40% of motor neurons are lost. In addition to n…
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that progressively affects the upper and lower motor neurons of the spinal cord. Its symptoms are mainly muscle weakness and atrophy, which progress to death, usually due to respiratory arrest. ALS can be classified as: family member (10%), which has a hereditary and sporadic origin, which represents the majority of cases …
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons progressively, causing progressive weakness and muscle atrophy, leading to death frequently due to respiratory arrest. ALS can be classified into two main types, which differ in etiology. The familial type has a hereditary origin, while sporadic type represents the vast majority of cases (90%), a…
