Posses Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences, masters in Physiology from USP São Paulo and PhD in Zoology from UNESP Rio Claro. Currently developing postdoctoral research in the Bioenergetics Lab at UNICAMP. Research interests involves Comparative Animal Physiology with emphasis in ectothermic animals, including developmental and cardiovascular physiology, neuroanatomy and cellular and mitochondrial bioenergetic properties, investigating the mechanisms and adaptations of ectothermic animals subjected to different metabolic and ecological demands.

Brazil follows the worldwide trend of a marked increase in the number of elderly people in the population. Therefore, factors associated with aging are drawing attention, due to the relationship of aging with chronic diseases, elderly life quality, medical assistance costs and mortality risk. Many aging studies using model organisms focus on the mitochondria, multifunctional organelles th…
The cardiovascular control is related to the appropriate oxygen delivery to tissues, according to the metabolic demand of the organism. To ensure the correct supply of oxygen carried by the blood there is a control executed by the autonomic nervous system with its sympathetic and parasympathetic branches. At the embryo phase, the nervous system is in continuous maturation and the mechanis…
Embryos of amniotes have a unique system of gas exchange in which the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) acts as the exchange surface, a structure analogous to the mammalian placenta. While circulatory system function of the mammalian fetus is well understood even basic parameters such as heart rate in other amniotic animals remain a mystery. Blood flow during non-mammalian amniotic developme…
Studies demonstrate that the heart rate is maintained virtually constant during most of the embryonic development of reptiles, despite the continuous increase in oxygen demand by the developing embryo. However, information about the cardiovascular adjustments that allows the appropriate oxygen delivery to embryonic tissues are scarce in reptiles, in contrast to avian models. In this way, …
