Currently, I am Postdoctoral Researcher at Steinmetz Lab (University of California, San Diego), where I develop innovative projects focused on the development of viral nanoparticle platforms for cancer immunotherapies and vaccines. Holding a Ph.D. and Masters degree in Chemistry from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), I have specialized in physical chemistry and nanotechnology, exploring cutting-edge therapeutic solutions. During my PhD, I developed mesoporous silica nanoparticles functionalized with monoclonal antibodies, achieving promising advancements in targeted treatments for Hodgkins lymphoma and anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. In my postdoctoral work, I have expanded this expertise by applying plant virus-based nanocarriers for intratumoral immunotherapy, generating durable immune responses against tumors. These projects showcase my interdisciplinary approach, integrating nanotechnology, bioengineering, and immunology. Recognized for publications in high-impact scientific journals, including the distinction of having articles featured on journal covers, I also mentor junior researchers and manage collaborative projects. My expertise spans from planning and executing preclinical studies to overseeing laboratory operations, demonstrating my commitment to excellence in translational research.

The project here described aims to synthesize mesoporous silica nanoparticles to encapsulate doxorubicin for further functionalization with monoclonal antibodies for treating Hodgkin and anaplastic large cell CD-30+ lymphomas. As monoclonal antibodies exhibit highly specific binding sites, the aim of this work is to obtain a more effective chemotherapy for this type of lymphoma. In additi…
The project here described aims to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNP) encapsulated into mesoporous silica (MS) for further functionalization with beta-lactams antibiotics. Three different beta-lactams agents will be tested: penicillin G, amoxicillin and ampicillin. Since AgNPs are effective antibacterial agents, the main propose of this work is to obtain a dual bacterial inhibition sy…
Due to their physicochemical properties, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) have attracted considerable attention from researchers as drug delivery systems, due to efficient transportation of small biologically active molecules. However, when nanomaterials are in contact with biological uids, proteins tend to bind on their surface, forming a coating known as the protein corona. This co…
