Patrizia Dardi

Postdoctoral fellow

Brief Bio

Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences from the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at the University of São Paulo (2017). She has been a member of the Vascular Physiology Laboratory since 2016, initially as an Undergraduate Research Student (2016–2017, CNPq/PIBIC scholarship). During her master’s program (2020, Graduate Program in Human Physiology), she investigated the interaction between the gut microbiota, vascular remodeling of resistance arteries, and the development and maintenance of arterial hypertension (CAPES scholarship). In her PhD (2024, Graduate Program in Functional and Molecular Biology), she studied the effects of the postnatal period on microbiota colonization and arterial remodeling, characterizing intestinal and vascular alterations in hypertension (FAPESP scholarship 2020/10381-5). Currently, she is a Postdoctoral Researcher under the supervision of Professor Luciana Venturini Rossoni. She has experience in the field of Cardiovascular Physiology, with an emphasis on the Vascular System, focusing mainly on the study of functional, structural, and mechanical changes in resistance arteries, with a focus on the microbiota and its cellular signaling pathways, and on the role of the mineralocorticoid receptor in perivascular adipose tissue dysfunction.

Research Project

Evaluation of the effect of steroidal and non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists on perivascular adipose tissue dysfunction in renovascular hypertension. FAPESP Scholarship 2024/19952-6.
