The Amazon rainforest has an invaluable wealth of fauna and flora. However, the vertiginous deforestation of the last ten years threatens this natural heritage of humanity. Logging, livestock, mining, and soy planting are the protagonists of deforestation. Although soy dominates the field of plant-based products (plant-based), an alternative protein source to animal protein, the search fo…

Newborn screening is considerate one of the biggest advances in preventive medicine and one of the largest public health campaigns. The early diagnostic of diseases, even for the rare ones, can reduce or eliminate irreversible sequels that could occur if they were not detected prematurely. A group of diseases that is analyzed in newborn screening is the aminoacidopathies that are metaboli…
Melatonin, a hormone known for its function in the regulation of the circadian cycle, is also responsible for many other aspects that surround human health, such as the immune system's functioning. In the current context, the detection and quantification of melatonin is a challenge, requiring specialized apparatus (radioimmunoassays, ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay), among other…
The real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) methodology has become, in recent years, the reference diagnostic technology for various infections, including the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, dependence on specialized equipment and highly trained personnel restrict this method to centralized laboratories. Alternative methods of amplifying and detecting nucleic acids, based on isothermal ampl…
Determinations of analytes at low concentrations and/or in complex matrices usually require separation/concentration steps, and classical Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) has been generally exploited to this end. Development of novel magnetic materials, e.g., nano- and microparticles (NPs and µPs), led to the improvement of magnetic dispersive D-SPE. The sorbent is dispersed into the sample, …

The stress experienced by pregnant women is related to several health problems for the moms and babies, such as prematurity, low birth weight, and adverse effects on long-term child development. Maternal stress outcomes in increased fetal heart rate and decreased fetal movement. Cortisol is known as "stress hormone", and deviations from normal levels is associated with such condition. The…
Currently, the analytical performance to characterize all complexity of a proteome is not sufficient. This complexity has been the main subject of study at Yates Lab for the last 25 years with significant scientific impact on the evolution of the field. With this in mind, we propose a series of studies to try to improve analytical strategies to proteomics, such as i) new chemometrics stra…
Cancer cells have specific receptors with high affinity to folate and are highly replicative. Alpha folate receptor (FR-±) are extracellular proteins with specific biochemical properties, since with rare exceptions, it is induced selectively in cancerous tissues and rarely expressed in normal cells, being highly sensitive and specific. Aiming disease detection, our group reported the use …
