Research in the field of Materials Science has advanced enormously in recent years, from an essentially applied, engineering-related approach to a position where it has great impact in other areas, including Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. This is mostly due to the advancement of theoretical and experimental techniques that have allowed us to probe, and interact with matter at the atomic…
The objective of this research project is to promote an exchange program between UoM and UFABC. The proposed joint project is set to enhance educational/research scientific excellence in the two universities. This will ultimately help in securing large grants from other organizations for continuing our collaborative research activities for the long-term. The achievement of this goal requi…
In the current project, we intent to investigate the immobilization of Leishmania antigens in hydrogels based on L-phenylalanine (F) and L-arginine (R), covalently bound to synthetic polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG) and poloxamers, aiming developing immunosensors. Specifically, our goal is the search of information on the nucleation, variation of viscoelasticity and stabilization of Leis…

To combat infectious diseases as well as monitor the extent of these diseases, the field of detection has focused on the creation, understanding and application of electrochemical biosensors, which are due to the simplicity of construction, are fast, accessible, portable and allow testing at the point of care (POC). However, we still face considerable limitations such as: price, sensitivi…
Our previous results demonstrated that silk fibroin stabilizes nanoparticles and alters the electrochemical properties of nickel hydroxide. Especially during the oxygen evolution reaction, the presence of fibroin enhances the catalytic activity of Ni(OH)2, although the involved mechanism is still unclear. The continuation of this project will allow a deeper understanding of the charge tra…
Although the World Health Organization declared the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, the disease continues to take a significant toll on global health, and variants of concern represent a public health risk. The development of vaccines that can provide protection against new variants, as well as the creation of more effective, safe detection methods and those that facilitate immunological su…
Leishmaniasis is parasitic diseases caused by different protozoan species of the genus Leishmania and transmitted by sand flies. This disease has limited treatments and in many cases, has unwanted effects, which makes prior diagnosis essential. The most common and definitive diagnostic method is the optical observation of the parasite through culture in a specific medium. Despite its exce…
Among the strategies for structuring nanomaterials, self-assembly presents advantages such as efficiency and specificity in the organization of nanometric structures. In this field, the use of peptides and proteins has been drawing attention due to its inherent capacity to organize complex systems, in a following sequence and specific way, which can thus be used in the creation of inorgan…
The main goal of the project is to develop a portable high sensitivity semiconductor transistor device for the diagnosis of human visceral leishmaniasis, a highly fatal parasitic infection, affecting mainly tropical countries. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent patient death. The chip will be based on the immobilization of synthetic peptides made from epitopes of Leishmania infantum,…

We propose to investigate the orientation of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein and Spike Protein RBD on ZnO nanostructured electrode surfaces using in-liquid atomic force microscopy (AFM) and high-resolution cryo-transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-TEM) and Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) better to understand the spatial orientation of these viral proteins to enable better constru…
The use of electrochemical processes, such as the water splitting process, represent a great potential for the generation of renewable energy in the next few years. To avoid the expensive and less abundant precious metals, such as gold, silver and platinum, metal oxide and hydroxides are good alternatives, but they performance needs to be improved to allow then to be competitive. In this …
We propose the synthesis and characterization of new lipopeptide as functional models of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) nanostructures obtained from self-assembly and the AChE, which is usually used in pesticide biosensors. For this study, the control of molecular architectures will be explored by using the Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett techniques, employing mixtures of unsaturat…
