Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Campus de Araraquara. Instituto de Química (IQ) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
I am currently an associate professor at the Institute of Chemistry of Araraquara-UNESP. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry from Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (1989), a Master's degree in Biological Sciences (Molecular Biology) from the Federal University of São Paulo (1993) and a PhD in Biological Sciences (Molecular Biology) from the Federal University of São Paulo (1997). I am ssociate professor at Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP). My group has experience in Biochemistry, with emphasis on peptides, solid support, solid phase synthesis, fluorescence, EPR, NMR; and antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and anticancer activity.

Quantum electrodynamics describes how light and matter interact and is the first theory where full agreement between quantum mechanics and special relativity is achieved. The Nanobionics research group has been investigating (both theoretically and experimentally) how electrons are transferred, transported, and stored at the nanoscale level in an electrolyte environment and demonstrated t…
Leishmaniasis correspond to a group of diseases caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania. According to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), in the last 20 years, 1,067,759 cases of cutaneous (CL) and mucosal (LM) leishmaniasis were reported. Parasitic diseases represent a major public health problem, especially considering the growing number of immunocompromised patients and tho…
Human pandemics, emerging and re-emerging viruses and the mutation of viral strains have been highlighting the importance for antiviral research. Pandemics, such as the actual caused by SARS-CoV-2, directly affect the world, mainly the public health, economy, tourism, etc. Also, due his high and fast spreading, this disease are saturating hospitals worldwide and the number of deaths are i…
Chemical covalent attachment of molecules over conductive electrodes and the control of the properties of the nanoscale junction is the state-of-art for molecular electronics and molecular electrochemistry. In the present proposal we suggest to measure the time-dependent electronic features as accessed by impedance methods for fundamental studies and applications of different types of nan…

The increasing bacterial resistance to existing antibiotics demands the development of new therapeutic strategies. Bacteria that inhabit the interior of mammalian cells represent a particularly challenging target, as they are protected from traditional drugs. The search for new molecules capable of penetrating infected cells and eliminating intracellular bacteria is essential for controll…
Leishmaniasis and many other infirmities, such as parasitarian, bacterial and viral infections embody the field of infectious diseases, of which many are at its highest infection rate as of now, having leishmaniasis - a tropical, neglected parasitical disease caused by the bite of the female infected phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae)- affecting more than a million people annu…
Neglected diseases, in general, are those that affect marginalized populations in isolated areas, especially in Latin America. These diseases are a consequence of an unequal development process that determines populations in extreme poverty, generating high risks of morbidity for individuals subjected to these conditions of precarious sanitary structure, inadequate nutrition, and difficul…

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a relevant public health issue worldwide. Even though UTIs cause more harm to impoverished populations, without healthcare or access to antibiotics, they are evenly spread throughout the globe. The main symptoms include pain and discomfort while urinating, frequent urination and cloudy and malodorous urine, due to the presence of bacteria. UTI causing p…
Leishmaniasis is a neglected disease caused by the protozoan of the genus Leishmania, presenting in visceral and cutaneous forms. Leishmaniasis is characterized by symptoms such as high fever and weakness, in the case of skin infection, there is the appearance of lesions under the skin. As for the visceral, there may be swelling of the abdominal region, due to a condition called viscerome…

Persisting human pandemics, emerging and re-emerging viruses, and evolution of drug-resistant strains impose continuous search for new antiviral drugs. Zika and Dengue infections are important diseases in the world and its incidence is increasing. Those epidemics impose high costs to health services, to families and to the economic systems of affected countries, including Brazil. Peptides…
Brazil is the nation with the largest biodiversity in the world accounting for more than 15% of all living species in the planet. This biodiversity represents a wide chemical and biological diversities, a universe of opportunities for scientific studies on chemistry of natural products and also biologically active compounds, with potential to support bio-based innovation. Thus, the curren…
