Full Professor at the Federal University of Sao Paulo and Productivity CNPQ 1B scholarship holder. Postdoctoral fellow at Radbond University in the area of #8203;#8203;Biomaterials and Bone Tissue Engineering. He holds a master's degree and a doctorate from the Federal University of São Carlos, and a sandwich doctorate from the Griffith University- Australia. She is currently advisor for the Graduate Program in Bioproducts and Bioprocesses (Biotechnology area)/Unifesp and for the Graduate Program in Health Sciences (Unifesp).Develops both clinical and experimental projects in applied and basic areas. In its line of clinical research, it develops projects also investigating the action of physical activity programs and electrophysical resources in the evaluation of balance, posture, gait, function, quality of life, among several other analyzes used in diverse populations such as healthy elderly women, individuals with osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and fibromyalgia, among others.In his line of experimental research, he works in the area of #8203;#8203;biotechnology, Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials, investigating the action of ceramic materials, polymers and natural materials (mainly extracted from marine sponges) in the tissue repair process through in vivo and in vitro experiments.

Nowadays, a significant increase in the incidence of degenerative diseases has been observed including Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis. In this context, it is necessary to develop treatments able of treating the symptoms related to these diseases. The marine biodiversity is an extremely rich environment for extracting bioactive compounds to be used as raw materials for manufacturing drugs…
There is a growing need for grafts to treat bone loss caused by trauma or diseases in Brazil. However, the vast majority of synthetic biomaterials developed for this purpose is imported or dependent upon foreign technology, which limits the spread of such products in medical practice, particularly in the public health system. Besides being economically affordable, natural grafts are also …
The healing of large dimension fractures due to traumas, malignancy or congenital diseases are a great challenge to the medicine field. Biomaterials have been arising as an alternative to be used as a graft to bone repair, which can stimulate bone metabolism and accelerate tissue regeneration, decreasing costs and reducing morbidity and mortality. In this context, the osteogenic and bioac…
Fractures of difficult consolidation and large bone defects are associated with substantial disability to the affected individuals and the high socioeconomic costs, constituting a major challenge to the medical clinic. Thus, the developing technologies that promote bone repair and accelerate tissue regeneration are extremely important, decreasing costs and reducing morbidity and mortality…

Skin tissue plays a crucial role in protecting the human body, however, due to constant exposure to injuries of various origins, the healing of visible wounds becomes a complex and unnecessary process in terms of health treatments. The search for alternative treatments such as curatives has grown. Collagen (COL), especially marine collagen, has been an effective biomaterial for these dres…
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic diffuse disease characterized by generalized musculoskeletal pain, sensitivity, sleep disturbances, fatigue, stiffness and the presence of multiple tender points called tender points, being more common in women. Aerobic exercises have been shown to be effective in relieving fatigue, improving cardiorespiratory capacity and functional performance in these pat…
The sea offers unimaginable resources for the development of new technologies, and in line with the UN Decade of the Ocean, these resources need to be explored in the right way to address technological gaps. One potential application that has been attracting attention is the use of marine bioactives for the development of biomaterials applied to cell regeneration. This project aims to ext…

One of the most serious problems facing public health worldwide in recent years is antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to multiple drugs. This fact leads to an urgent need for studies aimed at discovering new substances with antimicrobial potential. Marine biodiversity has proven to be a substantial source of bioactive compounds with possible biotechnological applications for the treatment of …
In a global context, osteoarthritis (OA) stands out as the most widespread joint disease, incurring significant social and economic costs. In this regard, intraarticular administration of supramolecular hydrogels enriched with anti-inflammatory agents emerges as a promising and safe approach for OA treatment. This strategy offers the advantage of providing targeted release of bioactive co…
Bone fractures impose a significant financial burden on healthcare systems in Latin America, including Brazil, where treatment of complex fractures often requires titanium implants due to their biocompatibility and mechanical stability. However, to improve osseointegration and reduce corrosion of titanium, proper surface treatment is essential. In search of convenient alternatives similar…
