Lucas Moreira Silva

I have a degree in Biotechnology, working in the area of Analytical Chemistry in the development and validation of instrumental methods for the detection and quantification of different chemical compounds and biological markers. I work in the area of biotechnology with an emphasis on the development of sensors and biosensors using different surfaces of electrochemical transducers.I have expertise in the development and characterization of nanomaterials, such as magnetic nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles and the modification of core-shell hybrid nanomaterials with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs); biomolecules, such as antibodies and enzymes. I present practice in conducting ELISA-type biomolecular analyzes and in the development of paper-based devices for colorimetric monitoring. Mastery in the use/study of various electroanalytical techniques, including Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS); Square Wave Voltammetry (SWV), Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Chronoamperometry and Chronopoteciometry. Experience in chromatographic analyzes using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a UV-Vis detector (HPLC/UV-VIS). I have experience in carrying out chemical analysis as well as preparing food samples, soil, water and biological samples and using descriptive statistics and statistical inference in the analysis of experimental data.
