Postdoc researcher at University of Sao Paulo (USP, Brazil), interested on stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) of murine and human tissues. Previous postdoc position at University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC- USA), interested in activation of different sources of retinal stem cells. Graduated in sciences with PhD title obtained from USP in 2010, and bachelor of science in Nursing from the same institution (2003). Areas of knowledge: stem cells, iPS, progenitor cells, cell-based terapy and retinal regeneration. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The retina is an essential structure for sensory perception in vertebrates contains photoreceptors (rods and cones) and various subtypes of neurons (bipolar cells, ganglion, amacrine and horizontal) connected in a complex neural network for processing visual information. This tissue is susceptible to various environmental and genetic degenerative insults resulting in visual loss or comple…
According to the International Council of Ophthalmology, degenerative retinal diseases are a worldwide public health problem, being one of the main causes of visual loss in humans. Currently, the cure for these diseases is not available in clinics, and therapies involving the use of stem cells are being considered promising therapeutic approaches. In this context, quiescent stem cells hav…
According to the International Council of Ophthalmology, retinal degenerative diseases are a global public health problem and a major cause of visual loss in humans. Currently, the cure for retinal degeneration is not available in medical procedures and therapies involving stem cells are being considered promising therapeutic approaches. Quiescent retinal stem cells were identified in the…
The increase in human life longevity favored the increase of the incidence of chronic-degenerative diseases, among them the visual deficiency. Since neuronal cells of the mammalian retina are not capable to spontaneous regeneration, pathologies leading to tissue degeneration and blindness are not clinically curable. For that, the hope for the recovery of visual acuity lies in the so-calle…

The retina is a Central Nervous System tissue essential for the visual information processing. Due to structural, biochemistry and functional complexity of the retina, the developmental regulatory mechanisms and maturation cues are highly controlled during retinogenesis. It is essential to understand the mechanisms that regulate the maintenance of mammalian retinal stem cells and the mech…
According to the International Council of Ophthalmology, retinal degenerative diseases are a worldwide public health problem, being one of the main causes of human visual loss. Therapies involving the use of stem cells are being considered promising therapeutic approaches. The experimental models used to study retinal development and visual system pathologies have some limitations, as ma…
