João Paulo Martins Machado

Graduating in Bachelor of Chemistry with Qualification in Forensic Chemistry from the Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto (FFCLRP), University of São Paulo (USP).Brief work as TT-1 scholarship holder (Techinical Training Scholarship Level 1), in the end of graduation, associated to a PIPE Fapesp project, acting as apprentice in the research about the study of a physicalchemical process that can decrease / annul the allergenic potential of natural rubber samples.Nowadays, I am studying in the posgraduate course, in doctoral's degree, at Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto - USP (University of São Paulo), in association with the Surfaces and Colloids Laboratory, at Chemistry Departament. Participation in congresses, events and internships:- Paper presented at the 5th International Conference on Matrix Vesicles: From Biochemistry to Clinics, in 2023.- International internship at Universitè Claude Bernard Lyon 1, activities carried out at the Institut de Chimie et Biochimie Moléculaires et Supramoléculaires, Lyon, France, 2023.The researcher's current project is entitled Langmuir monolayers as models of matrix vesicles and their role in bone biomineralization (FAPESP project 2023/01756-3), linked to the thematic project Investigation of the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the initiation, propagation, regeneration and modelling of bone mineralization (FAPESP project 2019/08568-2). In this project, the aim is to use Langmuir monolayers and Langmuir-Schaefer films as physicochemical techniques to model matrix vesicles which are essential for the deposition of the first hydroxyapatite crystals and, therefore, for the formation of bone tissue , in order to understand how lipid, protein and lipo-protein interactions present in the external membranes of matrix vesicles are associated with bone biomineralization.
