Graduated in Pharmacy and Biochemistry - Clinical and Toxicological Analysis, Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences and PhD in Toxicology. She is currently a professor at the University of Sorocaba, working in the Graduate Program in Pharmaceutical Sciences - Masters and Doctorate - and in the Graduate Program in Technological and Environmental Processes - Masters and Professional Doctorate. Since 2019, he has coordinated the Lapetox Uniso Toxicological Research Laboratory. And since September 2023, she coordinates the Graduate Program in Pharmaceutical Sciences. She works mainly on the topics: experimental toxicology, oxidative stress, nutraceuticals (including edible mushrooms), safety and toxicity of new products (scaffolds, bacterial cellulose, dyes), environmental toxicology (bioremediation). She is a partner at the startup Bioloxcell (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The growing demand for safe, healthy, and long-lasting food products is driving an incessant search for innovative and sustainable preservation methods. In this context, our research stands out by presenting an approach to explore the benefits of natural antimicrobials as preservative agents in food. Recognizing the paramount importance of food safety and the need to extend the shelf life…
This project is a reformulated version of the change request (SM) linked to the FAPESP Process 2021/04720-4 - PIPE Phase I. In this reformulated version, we highlight in blue the changes requested by the reviewers. Food preservation is one of the biggest problems facing the food industry. Food preservation can be done by using chemical additives, which are capable of inhibiting the growth…
Bacterial cellulose is a linear polymer of glucose synthesized by the bacterium Gluconacetobacter xylinus, which has been widely used in the mobilization of biomolecules and as drug delivery system. Bacterial cellulose has excellent tensile strength, biodegradability, high water retention and absorption capacity, and it is non-toxic and non-allergenic. These properties can significantly i…
The contamination in the aquatic environment by metals and pharmaceutical products (especially those capable of disrupting the endocrine system, such as female hormones) has attracted the attention of researchers. The extent of contamination is mainly the toxicity of the compounds, even in low concentrations, the persistence in the environment, and the inefficiency of the conventional sys…

The growing demand for safe, healthy, and durable food is driving a continuous search for innovative and sustainable preservation methods. In this context, our study stands out by proposing an approach to explore the benefits of natural antimicrobials as food preservatives. Recognizing the crucial importance of food safety and the need to extend product shelf life, this project, aimed at …
Humans generally relate the color of food to its quality and freshness, and for this reason colorants are so widely used in the food industry. The most commonly used colorants are synthetics due to their low cost and wide availability. However, the demand for healthier and more sustainable products has increased over the years, and therefore the production of colorants from microorganisms…
Bacterial Cellulose (BC) has been used for many applications in human medicine as a biotechnological alternative in tissue engineering, dental implants and, above all, to help in the wound's improvement in the form of medical devices such as dressing. In veterinary medicine, the use of BC is still quite incipient, especially in peritoneal implants. Furthermore, the implantation of any bio…

Humans generally relate the color of food to its quality and freshness, which is why colors are so widely used in the food industry. The most used today are the synthetic colors due to their low cost and wide availability. However, the demand for healthier and more sustainable products has increased over the years, and therefore the production of dyes from microorganisms, or biocolorants,…
