IRB Special Seminar
“Integrative Brain-BrownFat-Microbiota Crosstalk in Metabolic Disease: Effects on Metabolism and Cognition”
which will be conducted by Prof. Andreza Fabro de Bem Associate Professor, Dep. of Physiological Sciences, Institute of Biology University of Brasilia, BR.
Andrea Fabro de Bem is Associate Professor at the Institute of Biological Sciences, University of Brasília (UnB), head of the Bioenergetics and Metabolism Laboratory (@LabdeBem), CNPq Research Productivity Fellow, and Affiliated Member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.
Her expertise integrates neuroscience, energy metabolism, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and redox biology, with a particular focus on how metabolic disorders, such as obesity and hypercholesterolemia, affect the central nervous system using translational experimental models.
She coordinates an international cooperation project among Brazil, Sweden, and Switzerland to promote collaborative research.
