Dr Renato Sousa Lima received his PhD from the University of São Paulo (USP) in chemistry with focus on electrochemical bio/sensors, micro/nanofabrication, and microfluidics (2013). He is currently researcher at the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials and visiting professor at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), USP, and Federal University of ABC (UFABC). The core problem that drives his research group is the achievement of accurate analyses at the point-of-need (PON) in the areas of environment and clinical diagnosis. To address this problem, the group's mission is to develop PON electrical/electrochemical bio/sensors, with principles of electrochemistry, material science, microfluidics, nano/microfabrication, and machine learning being essential. The researcher is reviewer for diverse journals and author of more than 50 scientific articles in journals with select editorial policy. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

This Project addresses an approach created at Microfabrication Laboratory in 2014. Called microemulsification-based method (MEC), it employs for the first time the thermodynamic stabilization of dispersions (microemulsification) to perform analytical determinations. The generation of nanodroplets in stable dispersions of microemulsions (MEs; transparent) allows complex chemical determinat…
Electrochemical biosensors are promising platforms toward point-of-care (POC) and mass testing. However, these devices have not yet successfully reached the commercial market beyond the personal blood glucose assays. Analyses in complex biofluids and large-scale production are key challenges facing the routine application of the electrochemical biosensors. The complexity of biological sam…
Physiological parameters such as water loss and photosynthesis rate are biomarkers of plant health and, therefore, show a correlation with microclimate and harvest productivity. As a consequence, the analysis of these parameters covers important implications for the environment and Agriculture. As a result of the newest revolution in the area of chemical sensors, the use of wearable elect…
The poor reproducibility of nanomaterials synthesis and functionalization is the greatest challenge facing the development of nanotechnologies. Therefore, by taking up the increasing demand for scaling up the production of these materials and the impact of their surface chemistry on the applications, the construction of simple, fast, and portable sensors for ex-situ and in-situ quality co…
In this project, we describe the development of ultrasensitive point-of-care electrochemical methods by incorporating nanostructured concentric electrodes - with vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes - in microfluidic devices. The potential effect of this new assembly was evaluated using contactless conductivity detection (concentric electrodes) and voltammetric techniques (na…
The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been recently defined by the World Health Organization as one of the top 10 global public health threats facing humanity. AMR not only makes infections harder to be treated, but also it has been found out to increase the illness severity and hasten the spread of infections in hospitals and in the community. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) …
