Post Doctoral
My objective as an educator and researcher is to assist students in developing skills to study and understand biological and physiological mechanisms. I try to integrate my research with my teaching responsibilities. My research area involves conservation physiology, physiology applied to aquaculture and the physiology of reproduction in marine fish.
I am biologist, undergraduate in Marine Biological Sciences from University Santa Cecília (2003), with experience in biological oceanography (fisheries biology: especially in reproduction of marine fish). As undergraduation student I received the award for best student of XIV Class of Biological Sciences. Furthermore, formed also in Masters (2007) and Ph.D. (2011) degree in Physiology Program of General Physiology, Institute of Biosciences, University of São Paulo. During Ph.D. degree, there is a period at University of Buenos Aires, Argentine (International Abroad Scholarship).
Currently I am a postdoctoral at the Physiology Department (University of São Paulo). I have been working in the comparative physiology, especially on endocrinology and neuroendocrinology in teleost fish and aquaculture, emphasizing those aspects in reproduction physiology (brain-pituitary-gonad axis); conservation physiology of endangered species; and reproductive physiology and metabolic applied in aquaculture. Additionally, has experience in physiology and aquaculture of Neotropical fish (reproductive behavior, sex determination and differentiation, broodstock management and hormonal manipulations of fish reproduction); morphology of recent groups (mainly in morphophysiology, gametogenesis, endocrine glands, and nervous system of fish), and ecotoxicology and molecular biology.
