Lab overview
Bioex is linked to the Graduate Program in Health Sciences (PPGCS) of the School of Medicine at the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná (PUCPR) in Brazil. Our research aims to understand the biochemical and molecular mechanisms induced by physical exercise on the redox biology in diverse tissues and organs. We use advanced technologies and research techniques to explore and investigate the scientific hypotheses formulated in our Laboratory. Our research is supported by government funding and other foundations.
OUR TEAM
The Bioex team is composed of researchers, undergraduate and postgraduate students (master's and doctorate), post-doc and collaborators. Know more about the members of our 2022 team below.
PROJECTS IN PROGRESS
Our projects aim to investigate the role of physical exercise and antioxidants on the redox response of degenerative diseases. Research in the BIOEX involves a constant review of the scientific issues on exercise and health.The strength of our research lies in the breadth and depth of the experimental approaches we use in understanding the molecular and biochemical mechanisms induced by physical exercise. Learn more about our current research projects below.

Lab Symposium
Symposium of Exercise Biochemistry in Health

The Symposium of Exercise Biochemistry in Health is an event promoted by Bioex to disseminate scientific advances related to physical exercise's biochemical and molecular effects on human health. The event is held annually at PUCPR and has the participation of important researchers. In 2021 the event was held online on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th of June. The next event will be 2023
