I currently coordinate the thematic project HUBBLE I at the Research Center in Cardiology and Echocardiography (CEPEC) of the Heart Institute - InCor-HCFMUSP. I finished my 2nd post-doctorate at CEPEC - InCor HCFMUSP (Late effect of sonothrombolysis in patients who suffered Acute Myocardial Infarction, on sympathetic nerve activity, cardiac function and on microRNAs). I finished postdoctoral studies at the Technical University of Munich, Germany (Influence of exercise posture on diastolic function assessed by echocardiography in patients with diastolic heart failure); PhD in Sciences (Cardiology) on the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo - USP (Influence of sports (running, cycling and rowing) and physical training periods (competitive and transitional) on cardiovascular, autonomic and non-autonomic adaptations in elite athletes; Master's degree in Sciences (Human Physiology), by the Institute of Biomedical Sciences of USP (Effect of aerobic training and treatment with Losartan (Angiotensin receptor blocker) on hemodynamic variables and baroreflex control of spontaneously hypertensive rats); specialization in Cardiac Prevention and Rehabilitation, on InCor-HCFMUSP and a full degree in Physical Education on the Federal University of Minas Gerais. I worked for 15 years as Professor of Physical Education at the Cardiovascular Rehabilitation and Exercise Physiology Unit at the InCor - HCFMUSP. Expertise as researcher and in the areas of cardiac assessment, exercise physiology, cardiopulmonary assessment, cardiac prevention and rehabilitation training, as well as performance training for amateur and professional athletes.
