Introduction

Graduated in Dentistry in the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC, 1995), holding a Master's Degree (1997) and a Ph.D. (2001) in Pharmacology from the same Institution. She obtained a postdoctoral degree at the University of Montréal (2001-2002) and another one at UFSC (2003-2005). Since 2006, she is a lecturer at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS). She is currently the Coordinator of the Graduate Program in Dentistry, School of Health Sciences (PUCRS). She has experience in Pharmacology, with emphasis on Autonomic Pharmacology. She develops research projects in the pharmacology of pain and inflammation. The main research interests are related to the characterization of inflammatory and painful changes associated with diseases such as diabetes, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, and cancer.
