I am a scientist with a strong background in molecular biology, holding a master's and Ph.D. in protein biophysics. My research has primarily centered on the nuclear receptor PPARgamma; and the molecular mechanisms underlying its dysfunction. Throughout my academic journey, I have developed strong skills in strategic planning, problem-solving, and managing complex research projects. Recently, I've developed a strong interest in bioinformatics, particularly in the application of molecular dynamics simulations to biophysics. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Nuclear receptors are regulators of various processes of animal metabolism and therefore play an important role in acting as drugs for various metabolic diseases. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR³) is the master regulator of general lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity, being the main responsible for the process of adipogenesis. Its activation occurs through …
PPAR gamma is the main regulator of adipogenesis and insulin sensitization, and therefore it is widely studied as a therapeutic target for modulating the metabolic processes that involve obesity. PGC-1 alpha is a coregulator partner of PPARgamma, it acts together to regulate genes involved mainly in beta-oxidation and browning processes. Previous results from our group have shown that the…
