Guilherme Coury Ribeiro

Pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Technological Chemistry at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). FAPESP scholarship holder for the project "Cell membrane functionalized nanocarriers for targeted treatment of neuroblastoma" since 2024 at the Nanomedicine and Nanotoxicology Group (GNano) at USP, where they have been involved since March 2023. Gained experience in various experiments and scientific methods, particularly in synthesis and characterization. Some of these include surface modification of nanoparticles with benzalkonium chloride, dextran, and chitosan, as well as the synthesis and characterization of polymeric nanostructured systems loaded with cisplatin and remdesivir for different cancer treatments. Additionally, gained experience in the synthesis of copper nanoparticles via the chemical reduction method, the synthesis of PLGA nanoparticles using nanoprecipitation and simple emulsion methods, and the characterization of all the above-mentioned experiments, including various copper nanoparticle samples synthesized with different surfactants.
