Pesquisadores

My scientific interests are divided in two areas: 1) the design of complex multifunctional biomaterials and 2) the synthesis of bioactive small molecules. The first area focuses on the preparation of self-assembling biomaterials with therapeutic potential. Some of the developed systems will work as supramolecular (nano) drugs while others will be used as nanocarriers for the targeted delivery of small molecules. My second area of interest is the computer-aided rational design and synthesis of heterocyclic small molecules with biological activity to treat bacterial infections and cancer. In order to do this my group will get clues from nature and merge the principles of organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry to prepare the compounds, and understand and improve their activity. I have knowledge of classic organic and peptide chemistry protocols to be used on the synthesis of heterocycles, nucleotides and peptides. Also, I am proficient in organometallic and inorganic chemistry reactions and techniques. I am familiar with several analytical and spectroscopy instruments, such as HPLC, IR, NMR, UV-Vis, ESI-MS, CD, etc. Additionally, I have working knowledge of various programs for computer aided drug design i.e. Sybyl, Pymol, Gaussian, Gold.
