Graduated in Biomedical Sciences from the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), where he also obtained a Master’s and Doctorate in Science from the Graduate Program in Pharmacology. As part of his doctoral studies, he spent a year as a Research Fellow in the Department of Physiology at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Following this, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at UNIFESP. Currently, he is an Associate Professor IV in the Department of Physiological Sciences at the Institute of Biological Sciences, Federal University of Goiás (ICB/UFG), where he leads the Laboratory of Molecular Pathophysiology at the Research Center in Neurosciences and Cardiovascular Physiology. Additionally, he serves as Director of ICB/UFG, Chair of the Deliberative Council of the Brazilian Society of Physiology (SBFis), and Treasurer of the Federation of Experimental Biology Societies. His research is focused on: (i) neural pathways and mechanisms underlying cardiovascular diseases; (ii) polymorphisms in ACE and ACE II enzymes and their relation to cardiovascular disease susceptibility; (iii) the synthesis of prototype drugs targeting the cardiovascular system; (iv) metabolic programming across gestation, lactation, and puberty; and (v) the physiopharmacology of natural and synthetic products.
