Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Instituto de Química (IQ) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Igor has a Bachelor degree in Engineering from École Polytechnique (2006), a master in Molecular Chemistry from École Polytechnique (2007) and a doctorate degree in Organic Chemistry from the same institution (2010). In 2010, he also did an internship at the RD department of Sanofi-Aventis (Paris, France), working on the research of an anti-cancer drug. He dis his post-doctoral studies at the Max-Planck Institute for Coal Research, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany (2011) and at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia, Tarragona, Spain (2012). In 2013, Igor came back to his birth country and started a research group at the State University of Campinas. Igor obtained his Habilitation in 2019 and he was promoted to Associate Professor level 5.1 at the IoChem-Unicamp in 2022. Igor was the vice-Head of the Organic Chemistry Department of the IoChem-Unicamp during the period 2018-2020. He is one of the founders of the ACS Brazil Chapter, he was the Secretary during the period 2016-2019 and was the Chair during the period 2019-2021. He was elected an afiliate member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences for the period 2024-2029. At the IoChem-Unicamp, he teaches undergraduate and graduate students. His interests in organic chemistry are focused on three research themes: i) (asymmetric) catalysis, ii) Photochemistry and iii) Heterocyclic Chemistry. Since 2022, Igor is collaborating with groups working in medicinal chemistry in USP, IB-Unicamp and CQMED-Unicamp, developing research projects on Malaria and Leishmaniasis. His research group has a broad interest in catalytic methods, where the focus relies not only on the development of fundamental organic chemistry, but also in applications, which can be potentially transferred to the industry, therefore more directly impacting our society.

In this research project, we will aim at developing new photochemical reactions employing visible light and Metal-Polyoxometalate (M-POM) complexes as new photocatalysts. We will explore atom transfer pathways (mainly focused on hydrogen and halogen atoms), energy transfers and synergistic catalysis in the presence of other metal sources. This research will be conducted in a partnership b…
A holobiont is constituted by a host and its whole ecological community of associated microbes. It is a unit of evolution, and the holobiont selection is a major evolutionary force. One feature which it is still poorly addressed is the role of secondary metabolites in microbes-host relationships, as well as in chemically mediated interactions between holobionts (the microbes-host ensemble…
This project aims at the study of new organic transformations employing carbenes and/ or nitrenes as key intermediates for the functionalization of a variety of organic molecules. (AU)
Nanomedicine is expected to provide solutions to some of modern medicine's unsolved problems and offers new hopes in several critical areas such as cancer treatment, viral and bacterial infections, medical imaging, biosensors, tissue regeneration, and theranostics. The goal of the current project is the development of new biocompatible multifunctional nanomaterials based on polymeric nano…
This project aims at the development of new applications involving the generation of free carbenes from the blue light irradiation of aryldiazoacetates. (AU)

Three sub-projects are described aiming at the development of visible-light mediated transformations of diazo compounds, which involve: i) the chemical edition of organic molecules by single-atom insertion reactions, ii) cyclo-addition reactions employing silyl enol diazo compounds; and iii) the synthesis of beauvericin and its late-stage modifications using diazo compounds. All relevant …
The aim of this research project is to develop new synthetic methods and applications allowing the functionalization of organic molecules from the transfer of free carbenes generated by visible light irradiation. More specifically, this research proposal involves two sub-projects: i) to study multicomponent reactions between diazo compounds, oxidizing agents and nucleophiles, aiming at pr…
This research aims at the synthesis of various guanidine derivatives containing different levels of complexity, inspired in natural product structures. This project is a part of the Fapesp Thematic Grant entitled "The Role of Chemistry in Holobiont Adaptation" (2019/17721-9)

New methodologies involving cyclic guanidines will be investigated and evaluated against parasitic diseases, notably against Malaria.
This project aims at the development of 2 new transformations based on the photochemistry of aryldazoacetates with visible light. The proposed reacting systems will be evaluated in regard to their efficiency and generality.
This project aims at the use of new cross-linking agents (CLAs) for proteins in cross-linking / MS. New CLAs are proposed and submitted to various synthetic assessments. In a second moment, the members of the series are selected and tested with selected proteins for the desired cross-linking / MS study.
