Paulo Henrique Evangelista Silva

PhD in Sciences (Human Physiology and Pharmacology) from the Institute of Biomedical Sciences of the University of São Paulo - USP (2025), with a period of internship in research at the Institut Universitaire de Cardiologie et de Pneumologie de Québec (IUCPQ) at Université Laval - ULAVAL / Canada (2023-2024). Master in Physiological Sciences in the PMPGCF of the Brazilian Society of Physiology at the associated Federal University of Vales do Jequitinhonha and Mucuri - UFVJM (2020). Graduated in Biological Sciences - UFVJM (2018). Works in research in Physiological Sciences in the lines: Physiology and Biology of digestion and absorption of energy nutrients, Nutrition and Energy Metabolism, Immunometabolism and Intestinal Microbiome. In extension, he works on the development of instructional, pedagogical, visual and digital material on the topic, obesity and metabolism for elementary school teachers and young people/adults in higher education, in addition to working as an extensionist and intern at USP, in the Coral Vivo Project (Base Arraial d'Ajuda - BA) and at the City Hall of Diamantina (Health Department, Zoonosis Center). In teaching, he worked as a monitor for the subject BIO032 - Molecular Biology for the undergraduate course in Biological Sciences, in addition to working as a scholarship holder in the Teaching Improvement Program - PAE in the subject BMB0250 - Physiology I of the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at USP. In management, he served as a student representative member of undergraduate and graduate councils and academic associations. He has experience in molecular biology in gene/protein expression in in vivo and in vitro models, human physiology of digestion and absorption, intestinal barrier and enterocyte, adipose tissue biology, obesity, nutrition and immunometabolism, intestinal microbiota and basic bioinformatics applied to metabolic genomics. He is currently interested in investigating how food and the gastrointestinal microbiome engage to alter the immune, hormonal and neural systems, in the search for new mechanisms and strategies to combat and prevent metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cancer. email: pauloe@usp.br (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
