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 acetalated-dex…
The Pan-American Polymer Science Conference (PanPoly) will be a scientific conference that will reunite scientists from North and South America to discuss relevant aspects of polymer science. While the scope of the conference is designed to broadly touch on all aspects of polymer science of interest to the Pan-American community, specific topics of sessions will include biopolymers and po…
Dendrimers are well-defined branched macromolecules that are built in a stepwise manner, which are accepted as being a special class of polymers with a monodisperse architecture. The goal of the current project is the development of new biocompatible multifunctional nanomaterials based on well-defined multifunctional dendrimers, for application in nanomedicine. The project will focus on t…

Bacterial resistance is one of the most important topics in collective health worldwide, characterized by the bacteria capacity to resist the effects of medication previously used to treat them. The rise of resistant bacteria and diseases dissemination increase more rapidly than the antibiotic development. To overcome this world crisis in the medical area, many strategies has been investi…
In some malignant tumors, cancer cells overexpress specific receptors such as FOLR1 protein. FOLR1 is responsible for the physiological transport of folic acid, which binds strongly to the protein in order to be transported to the intracellular medium. In this project we propose the development of a biosensor based on the interaction FOLR1-folic acid, for instantaneous detection of tumor …
Self-assembly of block copolymers with asymmetric shapes is an attractive approach to obtain innovative nanomaterials for a wide range of applications. Microphase separation of asymmetrical block copolymers can result in assemblies with organized nanometer-sized structures, which are not found in conventional linear copolymers. In this project, we propose the synthesis of dendrimer/PNIPAM…
