Agenda IB
Dora Maria Grassi Kassisse
The Stress Study Laboratory (LABEEST) studies the stress response by quantifying stress markers as well as their effect on cardiac and metabolic responses in animal models.
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.
Paulo Guimarães Gandra
Our primary research interest is the investigation of cellular mechanisms regulating skeletal muscle contractile activity and energy metabolism during stimulation and fatigue.
In our lab we are employing an intact single skeletal muscle fiber model that allows us to measure force generation and perform fluorescence microscopy to analyze intracellular parameters in real time during contractions at a single cell level.
