bachelor's in chemical engineering from the State University of Maringá (1988), master's in Chemical Engineering from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP, 1991) and doctorate in Chemical Engineering also from UNICAMP (1996) with the experimental part fully developed at the North Carolina State University. Currently, Ângela Moraes works at the Department of Engineering of Materials and of Bioprocesses at the School of Chemical Engineering, at UNICAMP. where she is associate director. Ângela Moraes has experience in Chemical Engineering, focusing on Biomaterials and Biochemical Processes, mostly on the following subjects: animal cell culture, development of biomaterials for human and animal health, particularly of devices composed of chitosan, alginate, xanthan gum and other polyssacharides useful as membranes and scaffolds for regenerative medicine of tissues such as skin, bones and cartilage, development of devices for the controlled release of bioactive agents such as drugs and vaccines, study of the formation, control and prevention of microbial biofilms. With regard to international experience, Profa. Ângela Moraes has developed activities with professors and researchers from the following institutions, all of which resulted in joint publications in indexed journals: University of Maastrich (Netherlands), University of Nottingham (United Kingdom), Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium), Trinity College Dublin (Ireland ), Universidad Católica de Temuco (Chile), Colorado State University (USA), Université Laval (Canada) and Universidade de Coimbra (Portugal).

Among the numerous types of Cancer, Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is one of those with higher incidence rate. The search for drugs and products to treat this Neoplasia is of high relevance, particularly considering occurrences in oral and genital mucosal tissue, to which local drug sustained delivery is still a challenge. Thus, this project aims to promote the micronization of Imiquimode …
Cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, coronary artery and peripheral vascular diseases are the leading causes of death worldwide and often require surgical intervention to replace damaged blood vessels, restore blood flow and preserve functions of lesioned tissues. The materials currently available for this therapy are efficient only when used to replace blood vessels with diam…
The use of three-dimensional scaffolds obtained from natural polymers, such as alginate andchitosan, represents a promising alternative for the attachment and growth of mesenchymal stem cells for tissue engineering applications. Alginate and chitosan are biodegradable,biocompatible, non-toxic and can be used together to form a polyelectrolyte complex, which have more effective functional …

Drug bioavailability can be increased by numerous factors, among them the increase of its surface area. This parameter influences drug solubility in the matrices, allowing it to be more easily absorbed by the tissues. In this context, previous work was done with the aim of promoting the micronization of the anticancer drug imiquimod. After micronization of the drug, it is necessary to eva…
Cardiovascular diseases related to atherosclerosis are the leading cause of death worldwide and often require surgical intervention in order to replace damaged blood vessels. The materials currently available for this type of therapy are efficient only when used to replace blood vessels with diameter greater than six millimeters, as complications may occur in smaller diameter devices lead…
