The high global incidence of skin, intestinal and breast tumors, combined with the low selectivity, high toxicity and high rates of resistance to chemotherapy drugs currently available highlight the need to identify new antitumor drugs and targets, and develop novel therapeutic strategies that combine efficacy and safety. Nanotechnology can help to fill this gap, since it allows (i) the c…
Due to advances in processing capacity and the precision of results for complex problems, research in various areas of Computing, especially Artificial Intelligence, has driven the development of multimodal data analysis methods for a wide range of fields, including medicine and healthcare. The challenges of handling multimodal data remain compelling, and solutions can begin within their …

Maintaining genomic stability is crucial for cell survival and is ensured by complex DNA repair systems. Defects in these mechanisms are associated with various pathologies, including chromosomal instability syndromes and cancer predisposition. Cells deficient in nucleotide excision repair become hypersensitive to DNA-damaging agents. This project aims to investigate the cellular response…
The process of new drug discovery is complex and faces significant challenges, such as a high failure rate and limitations in preclinical steps through the use of conventional methods such as 2D cell culture and animal testing. Although they play an important role in basic research, both formats have several limitations, especially the mimicry of human physiology. To overcome these limita…
Over the past decade, one of the topics developed by the research group under my leadership has been Nanobiotechnology applied to cancer research. This approach focuses on the study of cancer cell behavior, encompassing cellular, biochemical, physiological, genetic, and immunological aspects. Related to this topic, we seek to evaluate nanostructured complexes produced by coupling pharmace…

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), emitted by various industries and natural sources, are key precursors for haze formation in the atmosphere and also present a high potential for toxicity to humans. Many VOCs are toxic and can cause carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic effects in humans [1]. Therefore, it is very important to eliminate VOCs to meet environmental regulations and healt…
In Brazil, prostate cancer (PC) is the second most prevalent type of cancer in terms of number of cases, and the most prevalent type in men. Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) has been particularly challenging in Medicine as traditional treatments have not offered the necessary efficacy. For this reason, radioisotope-labeled biomolecules have been applied in diagnosis…
Lipoproteins are generally evaluated in the context of the cause of cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis. However, artificial lipoproteins could be designed to specifically target cancer cells or tissues affected by the development of cardiovascular diseases, thus providing a highly targeted and effective approach. For example, modified lipoproteins can be loaded with therapeu…

Glioblastoma remains one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant brain tumors, largely due to the restrictive nature of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the limited bioavailability of systemic therapies. Axitinib, a potent VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, shows therapeutic potential for glioblastoma due to its anti-angiogenic properties. However, its clinical application i…
The organization of the chromosome is an area that deeply intrigues a vast portionof academia, and for good reason. Studies over time have shown the functional dependencebetween a tissue's cellular expression profile and the structural conformation of chromatin,precisely because the accessibility to the information contained in the chromosome isbased on more or less coiled chromatin regio…
This study will explore serine proteases' functional role in stemness using 3D-bioprinted organoids derived from oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and CRISPR-based TKI screening. Previous findings from our group indicate that serine protease expression varies according to tumor stage and stemness-associated markers, supporting their potential as prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic tar…

Wearable biosensors are an emerging trend in analytical chemistry, enabling real-time, non-invasive monitoring of analytes in various biofluids. While existing devices analyze tears, sweat, and saliva, they are primarily limited to detecting electrolytes, small molecules, or electrochemically active compounds like glucose and lactate. Notably, wearable biosensors for specific protein biom…
Malignant gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults. Characterized by their high diffusion through the brain parenchyma, these tumors are associated with a poor prognosis. Glioblastoma (GB), the most aggressive type, has a survival rate of less than two years post-diagnosis. Current treatments, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, are often insufficient due …
Bioluminescence has been extensively used for many bioanalytical and bioindication purposes, including tracking pathogenic agents like virus and bacteria in mammalian models, bioimaging biological and pathological processes and the detection of pollutants in the environment. Of special interest, are the novel imaging bioluminescence technologies for investigating mammalian cells and tumor…
