Research summary
AI-generated

Michele Joana Alves's research has focused on how cancer-related muscle and fat wasting (cachexia) develops, particularly examining inflammation, fibrosis, and metabolic changes in adipose tissue and other organs. Related work has also touched on metabolic disease treatments (like metformin), wound healing in diabetes, and biomaterials for bone repair. This body of work would suit students interested in the biology of chronic disease, metabolism, and tissue-level inflammatory processes.
