Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovações (Brasil). Centro Nacional de Pesquisa em Energia e Materiais (CNPEM) (Institutional affiliation for the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
She graduated in Biological Sciences at the Federal University of Paraná (2003). She has specialization in Cell and Molecular Biology, from Federal University of Paraná (2004) and Ph.D. in Sciences (Cellular and Tissue Biology) from the University of São Paulo (2010). During her Ph.D. she studied the regulation of Raldh2 gene and retinoic acid signaling during the spinal cord development. She is currently Researcher at the Brazilian Biosciences National Laboratory (LNBio/ CNPEM), where works on Regenerative Biology, focusing her research on the signaling pathways that activate and control the endogenous stem/progenitor cells response during the spinal cord regeneration in zebrafish.

Mammals cannot regenerate their Central Nervous System, but certain non-mammalian vertebrates have the ability to regenerate brainstem neurons. In particular, zebrafish have high capacity of regenerating neurons after spinal cord injury, a process that is accompanied by tissue restoration and functional recovery. The cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating this remarkable process rem…
