She has a master's degree in General Physiology from the Institute of Biosciences of the University of São Paulo (IB-USP) and a degree in Biological Sciences from the University Center of Faculdades Metropolitanas Unidas (FMU). She is currently working on her master's degree at the Molecular Chronobiology Laboratory (LabCronoMol) at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), investigating the role of the GPNMB protein in hepatic glucose metabolism in mice fed a high-fat diet, with funding from the São Paulo State Research Foundation (FAPESP). In recognition of her work, she received a Travel Award from the Pan American Neuroendocrine Society (PANS) and an Honorable Mention for her presentation at the LIX Annual Congress of the Brazilian Society of Physiology, both in 2024. During her undergraduate studies, she conducted a scientific initiation project at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences (ICB-USP) between 2021 and 2022, also with a scholarship from FAPESP, focused on the secondary changes induced by glaucoma in an animal model that develops the disease spontaneously, with an emphasis on the biological clock and liver metabolism.

Circadian metabolism control involves both the central biological clock and peripheral clocks, such as the liver, which exhibit rhythmic physiological functions according to the phase of activity or rest. Such temporal regulation depends on the functioning of molecular components of the biological clock that involves a series of clock genes that act through positive and negative feedback …
The organism's understanding of the advance of time makes it possible to distribute systemic functions throughout the day and night, with the periodic organization of physiological, biochemical, and behavioral processes and thus segregating incompatible functions. The main environmental light input is the retina, which through melanopsin-positive ganglion cells, adjusts the mammalian cent…
