Professor at the Department of Physic of the FFCLRP of the University of Sao Paulo (USP) . PhD in Biomolecular Physics (2010) from the Institute of Physics of Sao Carlos (IFSC). Had previous PostDoctoral Researcher positions at Birkbeck College (University of London, UK), UH Manoa (Hawaii, USA), and USP. His research is focused on the structural characterization of proteins interacting with partners (others biomolecules or membrane models) using eletromagnetic radiation (spectroscopy). Uses the biophysical techniques of circular dichroism (conventional and synchrotron radiation-CD) and fluorescence (steady-state and time-resolved methods), but also other methods (calorimetry, tensiometry, surface plasmon resonance, SAXS, and optical microscopy).

In the development of promising, safe and effective vaccines, different approaches are recruited, such as the employment of inactivated and/or attenuated virus, the use of virus-like particles (VLPs), and the incorporation of antigens into nanostructured silicas. VLPs are widely accepted because the immune system responds to them in a similar way to the response against vaccines of inacti…
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are natural compounds widespread throughout the evolutionary scale, capable of causing the growth inhibition on pathogenic microorganisms, with potential to act controlling infections caused by multiresistant bacteria and act as natural food preservatives. The mechanism of action of many AMPs seems to depend on the balance between the physico-chemical propert…
Ordered mesoporous silicas are excellent carriers for protein encapsulation because they have pores of different diameters. During the process of protein adsorption on the silica surface, distinct intermolecular interactions are established which can provide the proteins greater structural/functional stability in chemical, mechanical and thermal treatments. SBA-15 is one of the most studi…
The diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) is a microsomal enzyme responsible for the final step in the synthesis of triacylglycerides. Little is known about its three dimensional structure due to the high hydrophobicity and membrane bound state of this enzyme. Bioinformatics analyses indicate DGAT1 enzymatic function lies in a large luminal loop in which two peptides are thought to com…
