ResearcherID
Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Instituto de Biologia (IB) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
He holds a degree in Pharmacy-Biochemistry from the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Ribeirão Preto from the University of São Paulo (FCFRP-USP) and a Master's degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the same institution. He completed his PhD in Sciences at FCFRP-USP with a period at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Boston Children's Hospital - Harvard Medical School. He completed his postdoctoral studies at the Institute of Biology at Unicamp. He received the Capes Thesis Award in 2015 in the area of #8203;#8203;Pharmacy. As a researcher, he contributed to the development of topical formulations for the treatment of skin cancer using photodynamic therapy (PDT) and iontophoresis. He worked on the development of polymeric nanoparticle delivery systems, promoting the association of these systems with iontophoresis for the release of conventional drugs and siRNA. He also worked on the development of Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (CLN) for the treatment of cancer. In the industrial segment, he has experience in the pharmaceutical area, working on the development of nanotechnology-based products, solid, semi-solid and lyophilized pharmaceutical forms, among others. In addition, since August 2024 he has been working on the development of innovative technologies for application in agribusiness, based essentially on polymeric and lipid release systems.email: joelgsouza82@gmail.com.Email: joelgsouza82@gmail.com.

The most widely used therapy modality for the treatment of bladder cancer (BC) is based on the intravesical administration of Bacillus Calmette-Gueri (BCG) associated with transurethral resection. The anti-tumor effects of BCG start by triggering a systemic immune response involving both humoral and cellular components through the activation of Toll-like receptors (TLR) agonists, providin…
The main ocular diseases that require less invasive and more efficient treatments include macular degeneration, viral infections, uveitis and retinal degeneration. The great challenge is to develop adequate delivery systems for drugs, such as dexamethasone and ganciclovir, widely used in the treatment of these pathologies. These systems have to make that drug reaches the disease site in a…
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a novel therapeutic modality for the treatment of cutaneous tumors. Researches in this field are focused on studying photosensitizing agents and delivery systems which improve their penetration and localization into the target tissue. Phthalocyanines have been used as a systemic photosensitizing agent due to some advantages of it, such as high affinity to the…
