Biography :
I am a biologist, with Masters and PhD in the Physiology (UFRGS, Brazil), and post-doctoral fellowship in the University of Manitoba, Canada. I am full professor of Physiology in Brazil. My research interests are on the participation of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of heart failure, using animal models of myocardial infarction, right ventricle failure, arterial hypertension. I have studied the effect of antioxidant compounds, such as β-caryophyllene, sulforaphane, pterostilbene, boldine, melatonin, in models of heart failure. We have studied the efficacy of nanoemulsions and nanocapsules formulations for the treatment of heart diseases.
