Dawit Albieiro Pinheiro Gonçalves

He is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Education at the School of Physical Education, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy (EEFFTO) of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). He coordinates the Center for ERGOgeny and Systemic and Molecular PHYSiology (ERGOFIS Website: dgp.cnpq.br/dgp/espelhogrupo/0128193363878241) and the Section of Sports Physiology (SFE) of the Sports Training Center (CTE) at EEFFTO-UFMG. He is a researcher in the Metabolism, Physiology and Physical Exercise Research Group (GEMFE) at UEMG-Divinópolis, in the Laboratory of Metabolism Control at the Ribeirão Preto Medical School (FMRP-USP), and in the MEDIANTAR Group, linked to the Brazilian Antarctic Program (PROANTAR) at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA). He holds a degree in Physical Education, a "lato sensu" postgraduate degree in Sports Medicine, and "stricto sensu" Master's and Ph.D. degrees in Physiology. He completed postdoctoral training in the Departments of Biochemistry and Physiology at FMRP-USP and conducted doctoral and postdoctoral internships in Dr. Marco Sandri's laboratory at the Venetian Institute of Molecular Medicine (VIMM, Padua, Italy) and at the Università degli Studi di Padova (Italy). He is Chair of the Organizing Committee of the Brazilian Symposium on Muscle Biology (SBBMusc) and a full member of the Brazilian Society of Physiology (SBFis). He was also a visiting researcher in Dr. Ronald Kahns laboratory at the Joslin Diabetes Center (Harvard Medical School, USA). His research lines include: (1) Mechanisms controlling metabolism and skeletal muscle mass and function; (2) Psychophysiological responses to ergogenic and ergolytic agents; and (3) Development and improvement of techniques to assess psychophysiological responses to sports training and pathological conditions. He is a permanent advisor in the Graduate Program in Sports Science (PPGCE) at EEFFTO-UFMG. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
