She concluded my medical residence in Nephrology in 1979, and my PhD in Human Physiology at the Institute of Biomedical Science, Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of São Paulo, in 1983. Then, she went on to do post-doctoral fellowship at Yale University for two years, from 1989 to 1991, in the Peter Aronson and Peter Igarashi laboratory, Department of Internal Medicine, section of nephrology. Since then, she coordinates her own laboratory at University of São Paulo, in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, where she teaches renal physiology and membrane physiology to medical students. Her main line of research is transcriptional and functional regulation of the sodium-hydrogen exchanger NHE3 in renal tubules. She is also responsible for a course on Molecular Biology since 1998 that is open to the community. The purpose of this course is introduce graduate students and medical and biomedical professionals to the Molecular Biology of the cell and to the fundamental methods used in a Molecular Biology laboratory.
