MD (1972) and PhD (1977) at Universidade Federal de São Paulo-UNIFESP, Brazil. Fellowship at Harvard Medical School (1978) and Visiting Full Professor in the Cornell Medical School (1993). He was Chief of the Renal Division; Head of the Department of Medicine and Dean of Post-Graduation and Research Programs at UNIFESP. He also was President of Fundação Oswaldo Ramos/Hospital do Rim e Hipertensão, President of Paulista Society of Nephrology, President of Brazilian Society of Clinical Investigation, President of Brazilian Society of Nephrology and Vice-President of LatinAmerican Society of Nephrology. He served as a Member of the Council of the International Society of Nephrology and Member of Comitees of this Society (Acute Renal Failure, Educational, and COMGAN). He was the President of World Congress of Nephrology (2007). Actually he is Full Professor of Medicine/Nephrology and Member of Brazilian Academy of Science and Brazilian Academy of Medicine. He works in internal medicine, especially in nephrology. The mean research areas are: glomerular hemodynamics and renal microcirculation, renal pathophysiology, acute kidney injury, renal stones, nephrotoxicity, urinary tract infection, natural medical products, cellular and molecular biology of renal cells, especially in glomerular mesangial cells and, stem cells.

Regenerative medicine, defines a new concept related to strategies to restore damaged tissue or accelerate tissue repair after injury. The tissue reconstruction and repair, however, constitute a major challenge of the current biomedical research since the cellular mechanisms underlying tissue reconstruction and repair are still poorly understood and largely unknown. Multipotent stem cells…
The inflammatory and hormonal mechanisms involved in acute kidney injury (AKI) have been, recently, the focus of intense research, because the new methodologies and better understanding of this complex pathophysiological entity indicate that such issues are central to the advancement of knowledge and potential clinical interventions. This project aims to evaluate, using different compleme…

BACKGROUND: Molecule mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is responsible for cell growth and proliferation. Diabetes mellitus (DM) may cause glomerular hypertrophy and muscle atrophy despite inhibition of this pathway in muscle tissue and activation in renal tissue, a fact that has stimulated this work. On the other hand, resistance exercise training also known as strength training or wei…
SILVA FD, SCHOR N, BORGES FT. Evaluation of protective mechanisms involved in preconditioning by gentamicin nephrotoxicity in renal proximal tubule cells.The Gentamicin (G) is an antibiotic in the class of aminoglycosides, widely used in the fight against infections. However, she has several side effects and Nephrotoxicity one of the most important. The pathophysiology of acute renal fail…

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) have become epidemic diseases characterized by metabolic abnormalities and associated with cardiovascular and kidney complications. These catabolic conditions accelerate muscle protein degradation by activating caspase-3 and the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Several studies have shown that accumulation of the 14kD actin fragment…
