Associate Professor in Bioengineering at the Department of Cardiopneumology, Faculty of Medicine, University of São Paulo, with a PhD from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Escola Paulista de Medicina (Federal University of São Paulo, 1994), a masters degree in Bioengineering (Bioengineering Department, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, USA, 1985), and a bachelors degree in Electronic Engineering (Fundação Educacional de Barretos, 1981). She was a fellow at the Department of Artificial Organs, Cleveland Clinic Foundation (1983-1984, USA), Visiting Professor at Klinikum Rudolf Virchow, Freie Universität Berlin (2017), Fellow of the Institute of Physics, London (2004, London), and president of the Brazilian Society of Biomedical Engineering (1998-2000). She is Director of the Division of Bioengineering at the Heart Institute (Instituto do Coração) of the Hospital das Clínicas, University of São Paulo (1995-present). She works primarily in Cardiovascular Bioengineering, mechanical circulatory support systems, biomaterials, and 3D printing in medicine. She is an adjunct professor at the Faculty of Medicine at USP, as well as a professor and advisor at the Polytechnic School of USP. She was a full member of the CNPq Advisory Committee (2014-2017), the CAPES Evaluation Committee (2010-2013), the Innovation Management Committee of FMUSP, and the Health Technology Assessment Committee at the Hospital das Clínicas of FMUSP. Her research was awarded the Péter Murányi Prize for Scientific and Technological Development in 2015. She was honored by the Brazilian Society of Biomedical Engineering for her contribution to the consolidation of biomedical engineering in Brazil (2018). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The main goal of this proposal is to transfer for the Health System innovative medical applications oriented to computer-aided diagnosis, treatment, surgical planning, training and medical supportive decisions. The National Institute of Science and Technology in Medicine Assisted by Scientific Computing (INCT-MACC) has since 2008 successfully integrated a knowledge network for modern comm…
Heart transplantation is the most effective treatment for children with advanced heart failure. Mechanical support with Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) allows the majority of children to be bridged to heart transplantation, improving the efficiency of organ use in children and adolescents and reducing the waiting list mortality. The most common form of mechanical support available for h…
The Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) is the most widely used mechanical circulatory assist device in adult patients with heart failure. This has resulted from the fact it can be deployed and removed with a minimally invasive approach compared to others assist devices. The IAB works in counterpulsation with diastole insufflation, increasing significantly the blood flow towards the ascendin…
Anisotropic topographic patterns at the micro and submicrometric scales present on synthetic surfaces may contribute to the establishment of a functional endothelium, a process known as endothelialization. In this work we will develop the methodology for functionalization of the blood-polymer interface of the InCor pediatric ventricular assist device (VAD). Topographic elements will be pr…
This work is part of the thematic project "Circulatory support in pediatric patients: ventricular assist device and extracorporeal oxygenation" (FAPESP: 12/50283-6), and aims at applying the Topological Optimization Method (TOM) to support the development of a Device Ventricular Assist (DVA). The idea to be addressed in this project relies on linear peristaltic devices observed in models …
