The Lung Inflammation Laboratory aims to understand how asthma develops and worsens under different conditions, particularly in women undergoing menopause. We study the cellular and molecular processes involved in lung inflammation and also investigate how gut microorganisms (the intestinal microbiota) and the substances they produce can influence lung health. Our work seeks to contribute to the development of new strategies for the <\/span>prevention and treatment of asthma.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Caroline Ferreira is responsible for the Lung Inflammation Laboratory, where she conducts research aimed at understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in asthma, with a special focus on the influence of menopause and the intestinal microbiota.<\/span><\/p>

Graduted in Physiotherapy from Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Dom Bosco, Master\u2019s degree in Physiology from the University of S\u00e3o Paulo (USP), and a PhD in Physiology from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), with a doctoral internship at Northwestern University (USA). Completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Immunology at the University of Chicago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Worked as a Young Investigator at the Department of Pharmacology, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, USP. Currently a faculty member in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo (Unifesp).<\/span><\/p>

My scientific work focuses on physiology and immunology, with an emphasis on allergic pulmonary inflammation, gut microbiota, and immunological changes related to menopause. I have received awards such as the Nestl\u00e9 Innovation Award and the Unifesp Research Excellence Award. My laboratory is supported by funding agencies including FAPESP, CNPq, and CAPES<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
