In this proposal we shall continue our efforts to generate cutting-edge science where fundamental and applied research will advance together in the field of optics. Our research program comprises three main thrusts: cold-matter physics, plasmonics and biophotonics, fields that linked by a common theme of light matter interaction. In parallel we shall advance fundamental understanding and …
The Candida auris species is considered an emerging pathogen, it was first reported in 2009 in Asia, and has rapidly expanded as an important cause of serious infections around the world. In Brazil, the first C. auris yeasts were identified in December 2020. Unlike other Candida species, C. auris colonizes the skin, has a high transmissibility rate and a high degree of resistance to antif…
Antimicrobial Photodynamic (aPDT) and Sonodynamic (SDT) therapies have been investigated as alternative methods for inactivating microorganisms. These treatments are based on the application of a sensitizer, which is activated by a light (aPDT) or an ultrasound (SDT), and are capable of generating reactive oxygen species that are lethal to microorganisms. However, the combination of both …
Annually the number of patients waiting for a kidney transplant grows at a rate greater than the number of organs available. This disparity emphasizes the importance of maximum use of the donated organs. However, part of the organs originally destined for transplantation is discarded due to low quality and/or infection. Recent studies carried out by our research group CEPOF (from portugue…
Cancer is a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a particular part of the body. Many types of Cancer exist and Skin Cancer is a major Cancer faced by Brazilian. Among the available treatments, Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a light induced chemoreaction process that utilizes a Photosensitizer (PS), activated when exposed to light at a specific wavelength, to indu…

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a gram negative bacteria, accounts for 7% of all hospital-acquired infections. Despite advances in medicine and antibiotic therapy, P. aeruginosa infection still results in high mortality rates of up to 62% in certain patient groups. This bacteria is also known to form biofilms, that could be 10 to 1000 times more resistant to antibiotics compared to their free-flo…
