About

At UNICAMP, Alves combines clinical care, teaching, and translational research in ocular surface disease, focusing on dry eye disease, meibomian gland dysfunction, ocular graft-versus-host disease, and regenerative approaches to ocular surface repair. In partnership with the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), she coordinates projects on ocular tissue biobanking, stem cell–based therapies, and proteomics. She also originated the idea behind BioFlow, a portable bioprinting system with a regenerative bioink developed by UNICAMP and CNPEM to treat acute and chronic corneal injuries. Alves' commitment to patients extends beyond the university and clinical practice — she takes part in medical expeditions providing eye care to remote Indigenous communities in Brazil’s Xingu Indigenous Park. International collaboration has also been central to her career. She served as vice chair of the Tear Film & Ocular Surface Society (TFOS) Lifestyle Workshop and chair of it
