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.

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…
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…
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…

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…

The excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of bacterial strains resistant to several of these molecules. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated that in this context, common infections and minor injuries will kill several people - post-antibiotic era. One strategy to circumvent these circumstances is the development of new effective molecules …
Some taxons of angiosperms biosynthesize peculiar substances known as cyclic peptides. The research on this class of natural products in Brazilian biodiversity species are relevant regarding the functional understanding of these molecules in plants where they occur. Being also relevant for the bioprospection of bioactive natural products, especially insecticidal, antimicrobial and antifun…

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…
