Ph.D. in Physics from the Universities of Sao Paulo (Brazil) and Bordeaux 1 (France, 2011), with a thesis on the structure and dynamics of DNA intercaled in non-cationic lamellar phases. During the doctoral internship, was fellow of the Programme de Bourses d'Excellence Eiffeil-Egide. Holds a M.Sc. in Physics from the University of Sao Paulo (2007), with enphasis on interometric optics. B.Sc. from USP (2005). Has experience on experimental condensed matter physics, using X-rays scattering tools applied to the characterization of soft materials. Post-doc fellow at the Federal University of ABC region between 2012 and 2016, when investigated peptide-based self-assemblies. Between May 2014 and May 2015, he was an academic visitor at the University of Reading, UK, under guidance of Prof. Ian William Hamley. He was an Assistant Professor at the Physics Institute of the Federal University of Alagoas in Maceio, Brazil. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor (ternure track) at the Department of Biophysics of the Federal University of Sao Paulo (São Paulo, Brazil). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
Nucleic acids and peptides occupy a privileged position in the spectrum of materials intended for the fabrication of bionanostructures. These molecular species exhibit high physicochemical versatility along with intrinsic biocompatibility. Inspired by these unique properties, in this project we aim to formulate nanostructured materials based on self-assembling bioactive peptides and nucl…
In the late 1980's, researches related to HIV conducted to the surprising discovery that certain protein domains are able to cross eukaryotic membranes. These short sequences, usually containing between 5 and 40 amino acids, were quickly called cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) and their potential for designing synthetic vectors suitable for gene therapy was immediately recognized. Current…
We describe in depth the structure of complexes formed between DNA and two classes of arginine-containing peptide amphiphiles, namely, the lipopeptide PRW-C16 (P = proline, R = arginine, W = tryptophan, C16 = C16 : 0 alkyl chain) and the bolaamphiphile RFL4FR (R = arginine, F = phenylalanine, L = leucine). A combination of X-ray and neutron scattering provided unprecedented insights into …
This project aims to produce and characterize novel nanostructured scaffolds obtained from self-assembling bioactive peptides. Our focus will be on sequences belonging to three major classes of bioactive compounds: cell penetrating peptides, constituents of extracellular matrix (collagen- and elastin-like sequences) and anti-inflammatory peptides. We will seek for answers to fundamental q…
We propose the synthesis and characterization of new peptide nanostructures obtained from self-assembly reactions. Inedited peptide sequences of bola-amphiphile and lipopeptide type will be prepared. The choice of these classes relies on the rich polymorphism of mesophases they are able to form and on their ability to establish biointerfaces through molecular recognition, increasing their…
We propose the synthesis and characterization of new peptide nanostructures obtained from self-assembly processes. Novel peptide sequences, of bolamphiphile and lipopeptide type, will be prepared. The choice for these classes relies on the rich polymorphism of mesophases that they are able to form and on their ability to establish biointerfaces through molecular recognition, which increas…
