I am a biologist graduated from UFSCar and a Ph.D. candidate in Human Physiology at ICB-USP. My research investigates the role of the olfactory system in CO2 detection and its influence on ventilation and behavior. During my research internship at Harvard Medical School, I used photometry, chemogenetics, and behavioral assays to study neural circuits involved in respiration and chemical perception. I have experience in plethysmography, histology, and physiological data analysis. In addition to research, I engage in science communication, contributing to the advancement of neuroscience and its interface with respiratory control. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The main physiological function of breathing is the maintenance of blood gases (CO2 and O2) homeostasis. For this fine tuning to take place, the Central Nervous System (CNS) must receive refined and accurate information. Among the neural clusters that control respiratory activity, the ventrolateral region of the brainstem, namely the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) are capable of detecting i…

Guanylyl cyclase D positive (GCD+) neurons are a specialized set of olfactory sensory system. They are thought to play a key role in mediating innate odor preferences, learning and in the CO2 olfactory sensing. GCD+ neurons from olfactory epithelium project their axons to the necklace glomeruli, in the caudal olfactory bulb (OB). They also express other essential components in the CO2 olf…
