Advances in many technologies such as renewable and sustainable energy, quantum computation, data storage, and different types of sensors for applications ranging from health to agriculture, depend on our ability to design and realize materials with desired/optimal properties. In this perspective, materials discovery and design intimately depend on joint efforts between materials simulati…
Neoplasms have been the leading cause of most deaths recorded annually worldwide. Scientists are engaged in research to continuously improve the treatment of the most diverse types of cancer. Therefore, the main objective of this project is to optimize the performance of the drug candidate LASSBio-1735, both through the development of new crystalline forms and through its controlled relea…
This project's primary goal is to optimize the antineoplastic drug melphalan's performance and the lead compound LASSBio-1735 by developing new crystalline forms and drug release methods. Since melphalan - an antineoplastic drug used to treat breast and ovarian cancer and multiple myeloma - has no known crystal structure, the first stage of this project and, consequently, the first result…
A co-crystal may be understood as the junction of two neutral components in a crystalline form in order to improve the solid state properties of pharmaceutical compounds, especially those related to water solubility. Different methodologies to obtain cocrystals can be found in the literature, and the crystallization from the melt, from solution and solvent-drop grinding are the most used …

Lead-based halide perovskites have shown great promise for optoelectronic applications, but their potential toxicity and instability raise concerns. As a solution, lead-free double perovskites have emerged as an alternative family of materials. However, their stability and scalability remain significant challenges. Researchers are exploring ways to modify their crystal structure and impro…
Materials science plays a pivotal role in the development of energy applications. One of the most promising materials in this field is organic-inorganic halide perovskites. Organic-inorganic halide perovskites have been extensively studied due to their unique properties, making them ideal candidates for various applications such as solar cells, optoelectronic devices, among others. Howeve…

The preparation of novel water-soluble carriers, such as hydrophilic gels, is one of the many strategies for obtaining controlled-release forms of drugs and represents a major area of research in biomedical applications. Within this context, the main focus of this project is to add the functionality of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with those of temperature-dependent copolyme…
In this project it is proposed the local structure analysis of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) through the X-ray total scattering and the Pair Distribution Function (PDF) method, using data obtained in conventional diffractometer with silver source (E = 17.5 keV). ASDs are systems that have been used in pharmaceutical development to enhance …
The correct identification and quantification of polymorphs (polymorphism is the property of a substance to crystallize in more than one crystal structure) in both raw materials and finished substances is of great interest to researchers involved in processes for the development of new crystalline forms or in processes of quality control. One of the best-known examples in the scientific l…
