Biotechnology researcher with a focus on neuroscience and inflammation. Graduated in Production Engineering from the Catholic University of Santos. Master of Science from the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), she investigated the neuroprotective effects of melittin in an epilepsy model. She is currently a PhD student in Bioproducts and Bioprocesses (UNIFESP), studying natural compounds from marine sponges with anti-inflammatory properties in an osteoarthritis model. She completed a PhD sandwich period at the Politecnico di Milano (Italy), working on the biochemical and pharmacological characterization of these compounds. She has experience in models of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy and osteoarthritis, with publications on neuroprotection and therapies based on natural products. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
