She was graduated in Pharmacy-Biochemistry at Universidade de São Paulo, and received her Ph.D. degree in Psychobiology from Universidade Federal de São Paulo. She was a postdoctoral researcher at "Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center" at University California, San Francisco. She is currently Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacology at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Universidade de São Paulo and deputy-chief of the Department of Pharmacology. She is the current President of the International Society of Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA). She was President of the Latin American Society for Biomedical Research in Alcoholism - LASBRA (Latin American Society of Biomedical Research on Alcoholism) between 2008 and 2013. In 2014, she was elected to the Board of Directors of the International Society of Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA Board of Directors), having been elected Vice President Jr. of ISBRA in 2016 (2016-2018) and served as Senior Vice President ( 2018-2020). From 2013 2017, she was the Chair of the Coordinating Committee of the Postgraduate Program of the Department of Pharmacology of the ICB -USP. Dr. Camarini has experience in the area of Neuropsychopharmacology, focusing on drug addiction, and acting on the following topics: the long-lasting effects of ethanol or cocaine treatment during brain development; the effects of environmental manipulations (enrichment/stress) in substance use disorder (SUD); effects of environmental manipulations in patients with SUD.

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy is a serious public health problem, given that the drug cross the placental barrier and affect embryo-fetal development. In addition to the direct effects of exposure to alcohol on the fetus, consumption during pregnancy can also interfere with the care that the mother expresses with the offspring, as the drug seems to interrupt the interaction between…
Environmental conditions exert a great influence on the behavioral and neurochemical effects induced by drugs of abuse. Stress plays an important role in the development of dependence, as well as in relapse. On the other hand, the exposure of rodents to stimuli such as toys, exercise wheels and fellowship with other individuals, a model known as environmental enrichment (EA), is capable o…
Environmental enrichment (EE) allows to study the influence of the environment in response to various manipulations, including the treatment of drug abuse. Our laboratory has shown that the EE is able to prevent and reverse the behavioral sensitization to ethanol in mice, and this was accompanied by decreased of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) in the prefrontal cortex of animals.…
Adolescents differ from adults in behavioral and neurochemical parameters. Studies from our laboratory showed a more marked sensitization to the locomotor stimulant effects induced by cocaine and more rapid onset of peak extracellular dopamine levels than adults. Pilot experiment also showed that cocaine abstinence led to an increase in anxiety-like behavior and CREB levels in the prefron…

Substance use disorder is a complex disease, influenced by genetic, environmental, and social factors (Kendler, 2001), and is characterized by the compulsive use of a drug, loss of control over its administration, and persistent use despite its negative effects (Koob, 2008). Oxytocin (OT) is a pro-social peptide that has been increasingly described as a protector against drug addiction. S…
Alcohol consumption during gestation is common and constitutes a serious public health problem, as the alcohol overcomes the placental barrier, which may affect the embryo-fetal development. In addition to the direct effects of alcohol exposure on the fetus, the excessive consumption during gestation may also interfere with the maternal care towards the offspring, since the drug appear to…
It has been recently shown that the environmental conditions to which the sire is exposed may affect its offspring's phenotype, the so called Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance (TEI). Despite its mechanisms are unknown, changes in the miRNA expression profile may be an explanation for the phenomenon since miRNA expression changes promoted by the environment are capable of altering t…
Alcohol dependence is a public health problem. In adolescents it becomes particularly worrying since the earlier the beginning of drug use, the greater the probability that an individual becomes dependent in adulthood. Data resulting of the Doctorate demonstrate that animals previously exposed to alcohol (during adolescence) present several behavioral and neurochemical alterations compare…
