Graduated in Biological Sciences at the University of São Paulo (USP), during her graduation she sought to get involved in the three tripods of the University: research, teaching and extension. Conducted research in the field of neurobiology, passing through three laboratories. Her latest project aimed to understand how changes in contact sites between mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum contribute to the pathology of Parkinson's Disease. In the teaching area, she was a monitor of the discipline Fauna, Flora and Environment, where she contributed to the integration, guidance and training of students in the first semester of the course. In addition, she participated in the extension project Vem pra USP!, a mentoring program of the São Paulo State Government in which she taught classes and guided small groups of students.

The role of the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum contact site in cellular neurodegeneration emerge new opportunities to uncover the molecular biology underneath ±-Synucleinopathies in dopaminergic cells in the Parkinson's disease. In fact, it has been proved that the ±-Synuclein can alter the morphology of mitochondria and ER and this alteration has an influence on the contact site.…
