Juliana Barbosa Torreão Dáu
Graduate Student
Advisor: Yvonne Janssen-Heininger, Ph.D.
- B.S. Biological sciences at Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ)Brazil, 2017
Areas of expertise
Role of oxidoreductase in epithelial cell plasticity in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
BIO
Juliana joined the CMB program in 2022 as a graduate student and is conducting research under Dr. Yvonne Janssen-Heininger. Her research utilizes mouse models with fluorescent reporters to trace Alveolar Type II cells. The approach also enables Juliana to conditionally knock-out genes of interest. She is working with organoid cultures to study the differentiation ability and defects on epithelial cells of the lung and the related pathways, and is interested in better understanding the process that drives dysfunction in epithelial plasticity during pulmonary fibrosis in settings of chronic injury and oxidative stress.
Juliana earned a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from Rio de Janeiro State University in Brazil. After graduation, she did an internship at the Cell Bank of Rio de Janeiro (BCRJ) located at the National Institute of Metrology (Inmetro). From 2018 to 2022, Juliana worked as a technician in a lab focused on Regenerative Medicine in Brazil (UNIFASE/FMP).
