Nutritionist, Master and Doctor in Molecular Biology from the Federal University of São Paulo and State University of Campinas. With experience in nutritional interventions that promote beneficial effects and increase life expectancy, in animal and human models.With emphasis on the study of metabolic/molecular pathways of adipose tissue in metabolic diseases. Subjects studied: redox balance and natural antioxidants in human immune cells, processing of microRNAs in the face of nutritional interventions and regulation of protein synthesis and endoplasmic reticulum stress in adipose tissue. Candidate for a post doctorate in the area of inflammatory bowel diseases at Unicamp. Voluntary clinical care at the inflammatory bowel disease outpatient clinic at Unicamp. Participant of the research group supervised by Prof. Dr. Raquel F. Leal. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Metabolic diseases are an important public health issue. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are the most common among these diseases. It is thus necessary to identify new targets to treat and/or prevent metabolic diseases. The adipose tissue and skeletal muscle are important to maintain metabolic homeostasis, as they are fundamental in nutrient partitioning and essential in energy balance contro…
Caloric restriction promotes beneficial health effects and prolongs lifespan in diverse species, from yeast to primates. Our group recently identified an evolutionarily conserved phenomenon that is directly associated with the aging process and can be reversed by caloric restriction. This phenomenon is characterized by a progressive dysfunction of the processing of microRNAs, in particula…
The increasing incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the major threats to human health nowadays. Hormonal changes, excessive caloric intake, physical inactivity and obesity have a significant influence on its pathogenesis, and the cell dysfunction and the insulin resistance are the principal events that cause the increase in plasma glucose (hyperglycemia). The presence of hypergly…
Obesity is reaching epidemic proportions and leading to a worldwide increase in the prevalence of multiple comorbidities, including diabetes and cancer. Obesity is characterized by an increase in adipose tissue mass due to a positive energy balance. The adipose tissue is constituted of a functional unit called the adipocyte, which may play distinct roles depending on its developmental ori…
