Unifesp's Diadema campus has a tradition in scientific research involving chemical analysis, materials, biomolecules, cellular and molecular analyses, as well as developing toxicological analyzes of systems; all of this applied in the environmental area, industry and health. To achieve its objectives in basic and applied research, the campus needs small individual equipment that is alloca…
UltraViolet Radiation (UVR) affects many aspects of life on the planet. At the same time that it is necessary for the synthesis of important molecules, such as vitamin D, it is also harmful to organisms, and can lead to premature aging and skin cancer. Artificial synthetic sunscreens prevent or delay these effects, but they are toxic and have carcinogenic and neurotoxic potential in human…
The UNIFESP Microbial Interaction Laboratory (LIMic) research group has a line of research that studies the genetic mechanisms that control the response to nutritional stress in fungi, which is essential for pathogenesis. In addition, it is part of this line of research to prospect for new inhibitors that have antifungal potential. Treatment against eukaryotic pathogens is difficult as th…
C. neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen of great medical importance because it affects immunocompromised individuals. Treatment against eukaryotic pathogens is difficult because there are few options of antifungal drugs and low selective toxicity. As a result, there is an effort of the scientific community to better understand the differences between pathogens and hosts in relat…
Metabolic diversity is an important factor during microbial adaptation to different environments. Among metabolic processes, amino acid biosynthesis has been demonstrated to be relevant for survival for many microbial pathogens, whereas the association between pathogenesis and amino acid uptake and recycling are less well-established. Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pat…

Mucopolysaccharidoses comprise a subclass of lysosomal diseases caused by a deficiency in the enzymes that catabolize glycosaminoglycans; charged carbohydrates that accumulate in the lysosomes and cause pathologic bone, cardiopulmonary, auditive, and neurocognitive phenotypes. Sanfilippo syndrome is the mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) whose treatment is more difficult, and this MPS involves s…

The yeast Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that can cause meningitis and pneumonia in immunocompromised individuals, especially patients with AIDS/HIV, transplanted and undergoing chemotherapy. In general, Invasive Fungal Infections (IFIs) are difficult to treat, because the antifungals used in the clinic, in addition to being scarce, do not have a high selectiv…
