BSc in Biomedical Sciences, UAM (Brazil). During her undergraduate period, developed two projects of undergraduate research with fouding from CNPq and FAPESP in the of Physiology of Systems Physiology and Renal Physiology at the Institute of Medical Sciences-University of São Paulo (ICB-USP, Brazil). She is currently a PhD student at the Laboratory of Renal Pathophysiology of the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at ICB-USP, where her project aims to understand the role of the Tamm-Horsfall protein in acute kidney disease and its progression to chronic kidney disease induced by crystalline nephropathy, in addition to studying the recurrence phase of the disease. She has experience in laboratory animal management, cell culture and techniques for analyzing gene and protein expression, such as RNA extraction, real-time reverse transcriptase PCR, western blot and immunofluorescence.

Crystalline nephropathy (crystals in the kidneys) is associated with Acute Kidney Injury and recurrence, but there are no data about the progression to the chronic phase. In addition, the appropriate treatment for this pathology is not known. Recent studies of our group have shown a significant decrease in the expression of Tamm-Horsfall Protein (THP) in the ascending thick limb of the lo…
The renal lithiasis or urinary stones is a frequent pathology in clinical practice with serious consequences depending on the duration and the frequency of recurrence of the insult. Although your clinical importance, little is known about the cellular mechanisms associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) due to the presence of kidney stones; the progression from the acute stage to chronic …
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major determinant of mortality and morbidity in hospitalized patients. Understanding the pathophysiology of AKI is essential for the development of therapy. Furthermore, AKI itself can lead to de novo chronic kidney disease (CKD) and progression towards end stage kidney disease. This application proposes to study the role of Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) in re…
