Bachelor in Pharmacy from the University of Campinas and PhD student of the post-graduate Program in Pharmacology, with an emphasis in Toxicology, at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of UNICAMP, in the laboratory of the Campinas Poison Control Center (CIATox), developing a project to identify biotransformation products of New Psychoactive Substances, as well as their behavioral effects in in vivo models. During graduation, he developed Scientific Initiation projects in Analytical Toxicology, acquiring experience with miniaturization techniques of extraction processes for the most varied biological matrices. He also worked as a toxicological laboratory analyst at CAEPTOX, having worked with techniques such as Liquid Chromatography, Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry aimed at applications in Social and Occupational Toxicology. He acquired experience in the area of Clinical Toxicology, acting as an intern at CIATox in the care of intoxicated patients. In Forensic Toxicology, he worked as an intern at the Narcotics Laboratory of the Superintendence of the Technical-Scientific Police of Campinas, performing analysis of seized materials. He is a founding member, former president, adviser and current co-supervisor of the Academic League of Toxicology at UNICAMP (LAcTox). He is also a member of the Committee of Young Toxicologists of the Brazilian Society of Toxicology, the CJTOX. He is certified in a technical course in chemistry by the Conselheiro Antônio Prado State School (ETECAP). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Currently, the New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) are gaining prominence among the substances used for recreational use. The emergence of NPS brings a challenge to toxicological analysis, since the demand for the identification of such substances is increasing. In toxicological studies, assays using zebrafish (Danio rerio) have been gaining prominence, due to several advantages over other …
The analysis of psychoactive substances has undergone several improvements in recent years, such as the use of alternative biological matrices likeoral fluid, which is noteworthy for being an alternative matrix with several advantages, such as simplicity and non-invasive collection, the difficulty of adulteration, the low level of risk of contamination and the possibility of detecting rec…
Cannabis is an angiosperm that includes different species. In general, these plants have more than 70 are cannabinoids, including delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). When smoked, THC is rapidly absorbed and is readily distributed to the brain and other organs. Excretion of THC from the body occurs mostly through hydroxylated and carboxylated biotransformation products, whether or not conj…
Fentanyl is a synthetic analgesic, with restricted use at hospitals in Brazil, commonly used to induce and maintain anesthesia and sedation. In rare cases, it could be prescribed to patients with chronic pain (transdermal patches). It is a high potency drug, up to 80 times more potent than morphine. As a drug of abuse, the most common forms of use of fentanyl (and its derivatives) are ing…
