Undergraduate student in Biological Sciences at the University of Campinas UNICAMP (2022present). Currently conducting a FAPESP-funded scientific initiation in the Endocrine Pancreas and Metabolism Laboratory at the Obesity and Comorbidities Research Center (OCRC), under the supervision of Professor Dr. Helena Barbosa and co-supervision of postdoctoral researcher Dr. Daniela Maschio. Her project aims to associate the dysregulation of Wnt proteins caused by obesity and prediabetes with the reduction of glucose transporters in the blood-brain barrier, which may lead to glucose deficiency in the brain and consequent neurodegeneration. She is also a member of the Organizing Committee of CAEB (2023-present), the largest biology congress organized by students in Latin America, which will hold its 17th edition in July 2025.

Alzheimer disease (AD) is one of the most important modern epidemics, being a neurodegeneration not only associated with aging, but also to external factors, such as obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2). Among the most common molecular markers, one can list amyloid-beta (Abeta) deposits in plaques, formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and insulin deficiency and resistance in …
