Biography:

She hold a bachelor’s degree in Veterinary Medicine and since my master and PhD thesis I have been working on preantral follicles. Initially, I focused on domestic animals, developing projects to safeguard native breeds from Brazil and Italy through the establishment of cryopreservation procedures for isolated follicles and ovarian tissue. Since 2007 I have been working with human preantral follicles. My major research interests have focused on human follicle isolation, cryopreservation, in-vitro culture and xenotransplantation. Additionally, I have been working with ovarian tissue engineering, biomaterials and nanobiotechnology.
