João Honorato de Araujo Neto

Prof. Dr. João Honorato is a faculty member in the Department of Fundamental Chemistry at the Institute of Chemistry of the University of São Paulo (IQ-USP). His research focuses on the development of new metallodrugs as alternative therapeutic strategies for diseases that exhibit resistance to conventional treatments, such as cancer, tuberculosis, and malaria. He also works extensively in crystallography, specializing in the structural elucidation of small molecules by X-ray diffraction, including coordination compounds, organometallic complexes, natural products, chiral organic molecules, porous materials (MOFs), rare-earth complexes, and porphyrins.He holds a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Chemistry from the State University of Goiás (UEG), a Licentiate degree in Chemistry from the University of Franca (UNIFRAN), a Masters degree in Chemistry (2016), and a Ph.D. in Sciences (2020) from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), with emphasis on Inorganic Chemistry. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in crystallography at the Institute of Physics of São Carlos (IFSC/USP). Dr. Honorato received the Young Researcher Award, granted by the Young Researchers Division of the Brazilian Chemical Society (JPSBQ) in partnership with the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). He is an active member of the Brazilian Chemical Society (SBQ), the Brazilian Crystallography Association (ABCr), and the Royal Society of Chemistry (MRSC). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
