Flavia Fonseca Bloise is an adjunct professor at the Carlos Chagas Filho Biophysics Institute of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (IBCCF-UFRJ), associated with the Laboratory of Translational Endocrinology (LET). She is currently the coordinator of the Professional Master's Program in Training for Biomedical Research at IBCCF (2021-present) and a Young Scientist of Our State (FAPERJ 2022-2025). She completed her postdoctoral studies at the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands (2014-2015), where she studied the relationship between euthyroid sick syndrome and muscle function with Dr. Anita Boelen. During her second postdoctoral period with Dr. Tânia Ortiga at LET (2015-2018), she introduced the research line evaluating the relationship between thyroid hormones and the development of myopathies at IBCCF, which she currently heads. She coordinated the Biosafety Unit at IBCCF (2018-2021). Flavia develops and coordinates extension and scientific outreach projects, emphasizing the use of gamification tools for teaching science in public schools. She is a permanent member of the Professional Master's Program in Biomedical Research (rated 4) and the Graduate Program in Physiology (rated 7), both at IBCCF. She supervises and co-supervises graduate and undergraduate students. Flavia was the founder and president (2020-2022) of the Brazilian Symposium on Muscle Biology (SBBMusc), a national initiative for discussing research in muscle biology. She is currently a member (2023) of the organizing committee of SBBMusc and the scientific committee of the Brazilian Thyroid Meeting (2021/2 and 2023/4). She has experience in muscle physiology, endocrinology, and aging, focusing mainly on the following topics: thyroid hormone, euthyroid sick syndrome, muscle function, sarcopenia, cell activation and differentiation, and inflammation.
