My research is around nanoparticles for application against bacteria and cancer cells. I have been worked with Photodynamic Therapy since my master degree together with polymers and ceramic nanoparticles. Currently, I study a range of nanoparticles such as lignin, gold nanorods, co-polymers, carbono dots, ZnO quantum dots, silica and lipossomes nanoparticles through work partnerships. In Brazil, my focus is to fight pancreatic cancer growth under hypoxia conditions, in this case working with positive nanoparticles encapsulated into mesoporous silica nanoparticles or real membranes. My project here is related to synthesise ultrasmall silica nanoparticles RGDfK-functionalized as treatment of glioblastoma under normoxic and hypoxic conditions
