Dr. de Faria has a degree in Medical Physics from the Federal University of Uberlândia (2015), a master's degree in Physics from the University of São Paulo (2017) and a PhD in Applied Physics from the University of São Paulo (2021), in the areas of Biophotonics and Radiotherapy. She is currently carrying out a post-doctorate at the Università degli Studi di Padova, on a biodegradable nanomedicine project for application in radiotherapy and radiodiagnosis.

Radiotherapy is one of the main treatment strategies in oncology. However, optimizing the technique is desired to increase patient cure rates, especially in radioresistant tumors, and decrease side effects in healthy tissues. Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) consists of the application of light in order to modify cellular processes such as proliferation, tissue repair and analgesia. In a…
Photobiomodulation (PBM), a technique that is being used for over 40 years, is based on applying light in order to modify cellular processes such as proliferation, tissue regeneration and analgesia. These effects are strong evidences that PBM can modulate the cell cycle and increase tissue oxygenation, which are determinant factors in a radiotherapy result. Therefore, in this project it i…
There are many research groups in the field of photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, some challenges were not yet overcome, such as results variability. The aim of this project is to advance the state of art of the technique, investigating the causes for the variability. It will be used a threshold dose distribution model to evaluate cell resistance to PDT. From quantitative comparisons of…
