Otávio Santiago de Sousa is an undergraduate student in Biological Sciences at São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP) and a Scientific Initiation student (FAPESP scholarship holder) in the Applied Physics to Medicine and Nanotechnology Group (GFAMN). He works in the field of photobiophysical exploration of new compounds with theranostic potential. Currently, he is studying the photophysical properties of the compound alizarin and its potential use as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Bioactive natural compounds stand out for their therapeutic potentials, with some capable of absorbing light, making them candidates for targeted and non-invasive therapies, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this approach, a photosensitizer (PS) is biologically administered and activated by light, resulting in the production of reactive oxygen species, potentially selectively damagin…
