Universidade do Vale do Paraíba (UNIVAP). Instituto de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento (IP&D) (Institutional affiliation for the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Physicist from the State University of Maringá (2000), master's degree in Materials Science (Military Engineering Institute, Rio de Janeiro, 2002) and PhD in Materials Engineering (Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal, 2006). He is currently a professor / researcher at the University of Vale da Paraíba. Experience in the deposition / characterization of thin film semiconductor devices, in the synthesis / characterization of nanoparticles and surface functionalization of nanostructures with proteins, DNA and other molecules; analysis of spectra obtained by Raman and FT-IR Spectroscopies using PCA-LDA, HCA, deconvolution process using spectral derivatives. The main projects are in the lines of new drugs and forms of diagnosis using nanotechnology. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
Cancer is a complex disease, triggered by many factors, health systems and lifestyle, such as eating habits, smoking, sedentary lifestyle among others, and may be derived from genetic mutations inherent in each individual, becoming a Public health problem. Conventional treatments are aggressive and on several occasions with unsatisfactory prognosis, which may be related to clinical hetero…
The project aims is to increase the efficiency of Breast Cancer treatment via Photodynamic Therapy. Photodynamic Therapy is an alternative form of cancer treatment that leads to less aggressive approach to the body. Unlike chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments, photodynamic therapy offers good results without cumulative toxicity and it can be used in immunocompromised patients. This th…
The main of this project is the development of an effective method to identify the Paracoccidioides Brasiliensis fungus, which causes paracoccidioidomycosis. This disease affects mainly the lungs and may be spread by hematogenic via. The most difficult part of treating this disease is the correct diagnosis, because there is a variety of fungi types and also the symptoms similarity with ot…
Platinum complexes have often been used in the development of anticancer drugs due to their ability to bind to DNA nucleobases, specifically guanine, and cleave these molecules, preventing their replication and transcription, causing cell death by apoptosis. Nanotechnology has been one of the great tools used in several areas of science due to its applicability and versatility, this facto…
Breast Cancer is characterized by the presence of malignant neoplasms, with a high degree of proliferation and metastasis, being the leading cause of death in women in the past years. The available treatments are generally aggressive and low effective. Therefore, it is required to develop new detection methods and nanotechnology can facilitate earlier diagnosis and efficient treatments. S…
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a fungal disease caused by Paracoccidioides lutzii or Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. The disease occurs through the inhalation of conidia of the fungus, being an endemic mycosis in rural areas, affecting individuals working with agricultural activities, who inhale the spores of the fungus when coming into contact with the soil. PCM is very common in Latin A…
The high toxicity of heavy metals can cause serious health problems and the environment. Cupric ions (Cu2+) from industrial effluents can be accumulated in the environment for many years. For a correct discard it is necessary to remove these ions from wastewater. In the past years many methods has been studied for copper removal by chemical adsorption. However, majority of the materials u…
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermo-dimorphic fungus that causes Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). A great challenge currently faced in the diagnosis of this mycosis are the cross reactions with another diseases. Nanotechnology has been one of many tools applied in biomedical researches, due to its large applicability and versatility. Gold nanoparticles attract great studies focus becau…
