Graduated in Biomedical Sciences at Universidade Estadual de Londrina, Master of Science with emphasis in Bioengineering at Universidade de São Paulo and PhD in Bioengineering at University of São Paulo. Former non-employee PhD student at Wellman Center for Photomedicine - Harvard Medical School. Has experience in Biomedical Sciences, with emphasis on Biochemistry, Physiology, Pathological Anatomy and Clinical Pathology (specifically in Oncology, Free Radicals), as well as in Bioengineering, specifically on the research field of Interaction of Physical Agents with Biological Systems. 10 years of experience in developing metallic and protein nanoparticles for biomedical purposes. Lucas is currently receiving a post-doc scholarship from Fapesp at the Institute for Energy and Nuclear Research Institute - IPEN/CNEN, where he teaches as a volunteer professor in two post-graduation subjects: TNM5843 - Nanomaterials in Medicine and Radiopharmacy: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications I; TNM5844 - Nanomaterials in Medicine and Radiopharmacy: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications II. Furthermore, Lucas is a contract professor in the post-graduation subjects "Physiology of exercise" and "Biomedical aesthetics" (UNIFACEAR) and "Electricity" (Faculdade São Francisco de Assis).

Cancer is a pathological condition with high incidence, and is cause of a significant percentage of patients deaths throughout the world. Studies aiming to develop novel therapeutic approaches with more efficient and less invasive characteristics have been increasing in the last decades, and nanotechnology provides a meaningful contribution in this regard. The use of metallic nanoparticle…
Hyperthermic and photodynamic therapies are well characterized as effective ways to eliminate tumors, but the interest now lays in the application of both therapies together. We aim to investigate the viability of hyperthermic therapy through gold nanorods activation (with laser at 810 nm) applied together with photodynamic therapy through Photogem® activation (with laser at 630 nm), eith…
Hyperthermia and photodynamic therapy are very promising interventions for cancer ablation, for microorganisms eradication and for many diseases diagnostics. Some studies indicate that if both therapies are performed together, there is a synergistic effect which enhances the therapeutic success rate. We propose to investigate this synergistic effect using gold nanorods (well-characterized…
