Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Física de São Carlos (IFSC) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Bachelors degree in Physics from São Paulo State University "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP), Rio Claro campus (2012). Masters (2015) and Ph.D. (2019) in Sciences from the Graduate Program in Biomolecular Physics at the Institute of Physics of São Carlos, University of São Paulo (USP). Completed a sandwich Ph.D. at Queen's University Belfast (QUB), Northern Ireland, with a PDSE/CAPES scholarship (2017). Worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Physics of São Carlos (USP) for five years, including a research internship at Texas AM University (TAMU), USA, supported by the FAPESP BEPE scholarship. Currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Texas AM University (TAMU). Has experience in photodynamic therapy (PDT), with a focus on preclinical studies aimed at optimizing drug delivery and clinical trials for technique enhancement. Her current research focuses on the development and application of dissolvable microneedles for use in PDT. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-melanoma skin cancer treatment technique. Our research group is a pioneer in the country in the field, exploring from basic science to clinical studies. Over the years, we have carried out projects to develop protocols to improve cure rates and patient comfort. However, there are still some limitations that hinder medical acceptance of the techn…
The use of dissolving microneedles (MNs) has been explored for optimization in photodynamic therapy (PDT) in our project in Brazil. The studies involve fabrication methods, mechanical characterization (strength and insertion ability), application in nonmelanoma skin cancer mice model, decontamination process using ozone, and a pilot clinical trial. However, basic studies considering MNs s…
