She served as the representative to the Ministry of Science and Technology for laboratories associated with RENAMA (2012-2020). She was recognized as the Best Scientist in São Paulo by Veja magazine and was a finalist for the Cláudia Award for Women in Science, both in 2010; she was the recipient of the Natura Innovation Award in 2020 and the Heinz Maurer Award for Dermatological Research, Germany, in 2022. She works as a scientific consultant for cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies and as a reviewer of international projects and grants. She reproduces human skin in vitro (artificial skin and dermal equivalents systems) for molecular characterization projects of new antitumor drugs or topical formulations. She investigates biomimetic in vitro environments as platforms for alternative cosmetic efficacy and safety tests. She advocates through national and international lectures for the concepts of “non-animal methods” and “preclinical tests: from the culture plate to the patient,” with a focus on skin and its diseases. She is the Editor-in-Chief of the Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences. (Translated from Currículo Lattes)
