Agenda IB
Marcelo Alves da Silva Mori
The main purpose of our lab is to identify and characterize molecular mechanisms involved in the aging process and in response to dietary interventions. We pay particular interest to understand how metabolism contributes to the genesis of age-related diseases like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. We focus on the fat tissue - an important site of metabolic integration in multicellular organisms - and ask ourselves how this tissue responds to changes in energy balance and signals to other tissues to inform them about these changes.
Elaine Minatel
Leader of the Muscular Plasticity research group, developing works that evaluate the morphofunctional and molecular aspects, and behavior of skeletal muscle fibers 'in vitro and in vivo' under various experimental conditions, using histochemical, biochemical, immunofluorescence and molecular biology.
Clarisse Palma da Silva
Bachelor's at Biological Sciences from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (2000), master's at Genetics and Molecular Biology from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (2003) and PhD at Genetics and Molecular Biology from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (2008). Post-doc at Kew Royal Botanic Gardens and UFRJ. I am a Professor at UNICAMP, Department of Plant Biology. I am Head of the Evolutionary Ecology and Genomics Laboratory.
