Fernanda Ramos Gadelha
The research activities undertaken at our laboratory aim to study the Biochemistry of trypanosomatids, especially Trypanosoma cruzi, with emphasis on their bioenergetics and antioxidant mechanisms. We also test potential compounds to develop a more specific and less toxic therapy for Chagas disease.

The main purpose of our laboratory activities is to investigate the mechanisms involved in endothelial dysfunction in cardiovascular disease and how these are influenced by chronic aerobic exercise training. In this context, we are particularly interested in vascular nitric oxide bioavailability, oxidative stress, inflammation and the perivascular adipose tissue.
