Dr. Da Silva, Assistant Professor in the Department of Neural and Pain Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, received her PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil. While in her PhD program, she also finished a residency in pain management. She completed a one-year international PhD internship at the University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB), followed by a joint postdoctoral fellowship at UMB and Johns Hopkins University where she studied brain mechanisms underlying sex and age differences in chronic pain in humans and animal models.Dr. Da Silva has been the recipient of various awards for her research efforts and commitment to STEM, including awards from the Society for Neuroscience, the NIH-funded ASCEND and the NSF-funded AGEP PROMISE programs.Research interestsDr. Da Silvas research program employs an innovative, multiscale, interdisciplinary approach to evaluating the role of sex and age in how chronic pain drives comorbid emotional disorders, such as anxiety and depression.Her lab investigates brain mechanisms related to sex and age differences in chronic pain conditions in rodents and humans, as well as pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments that could potentially reverse changes induced by pain and emotional comorbidities.The ultimate goal of her research is to yield novel insights for personalized therapy.

The analysis of magnetic resonance imaging called "pain matrix", i.e. brain areas related to pain have attracted great interest from the scientific community, since the range of animal models of pain facilitation and predictive data to provide a therapeutic agents vast knowledge central nervous system. The nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neurotrophin that is closely linked to the induction…
Several studies demonstrate the involvement of glial cells and neurotrophins in neuropathic pain by modulating the response nociceptive. However, these mechanisms are poorly understood when discussed in the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord (DRG). In recent years increased studies related to the development of techniques for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Pain is characterized by…
The analysis by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) called "pain matrix", ie, brain areas related to pain have attracted great interest from the scientific community, since the range of animal models and the facilitation of predictive data to therapeutic agents provide an extensive knowledge of the central nervous system function in this technique. Several MRI methods have been developed to …
