Kate earned a Bachelor's degree in Biomedicine from the University of Araraquara. Kate obtained his Master's degree in 2009 and his Doctorate in Microbiology in 2013 from the Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp) at the Biosciences Institute of Rio Claro. Subsequently, he completed his postdoctoral research at the University of São Paulo (USP) at the São Carlos Institute of Physics and at Texas AM University in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. He is currently serving as a faculty member at the Physics Institute of São Carlos (USP), contributing to the Optics and Photonics Research Center (CEPOF). His work focuses on various biotechnological applications employing optical properties in biological systems to develop products and processes aimed at treating diseases caused by microorganisms.

Bacterial persistence is a non-heritable phenotypic phenomenon that compromises the efficacy of antibiotics, hindering the treatment of chronic and recurrent infections. This condition, characterized by biphasic killing curves and increased MDK¿¿.¿¿, results from the presence of metabolically dormant subpopulations that survive even at high concentrations of antimicrobials. Preliminary da…
Bacterial persistence, a phenomenon in which a subpopulation of cells enters a state of metabolic dormancy and temporarily becomes tolerant to antibiotic action, enables persistent bacteria to survive under adverse conditions, such as antibiotic treatment. The project's main objective is to standardize Photodynamic Inactivation (PDT) protocols using curcumin (as the photosensitizer) and l…
In the last two decades, it has been seen the spread of bacteria resistant to multiple antibacterial agents. Multiresistant bacteria are currently considered an emerging global public health problem. Coordinated efforts are required for the development of new therapeutic strategies as well as new antimicrobial agents. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a therapeutic modality that relies on pho…
This is a research proposal that is being directed to the Research Scholarship Abroad program (BEPE) - FAPESP and proposes a partnership between the University A&M Texas (USA) and the University of São Paulo (Brazil) in biomedical research for combating multiresistant bacteria. For this, we intend to explore new scientific ideas, tools and technologies that have the potential to significa…
