Ian Castro-Gamboa achieved his undergraduate studies with an emphasis on Organic Chemistry from the Costa Rica University - UCR (1994) and a Ph.D. degree in Organic Chemistry from the Federal University of São Carlos - UFSCar (2000). He did a post-doctorate (2000-2003) in the area of electrochemically active compounds, using HPLC-ECD interface, searching for antioxidants in complex natural matrices. Currently, he is an assistant professor at the Chemistry Institute from São Paulo State University (IQ-UNESP) He worked on metabolomics and dereplication techniques using NMR and computational models aiming at the in situ elucidation of secondary metabolites at the University of Florida, USA, (2009-2010). He has experience in the area of organic chemistry, with an emphasis on evolution, chemosystematics, and spectroscopy, acting mainly on the following themes: bioactive micromolecules belonging to higher plants and microorganisms (especially those associated with the rhizosphere), development of hyphenated analytical techniques and dereplication (mainly NMR) ) for the rational exploitation of biodiversity. He is currently the Coordinator of the NMR Platform at IQ-UNESP, the vice-coordinator of the chemistry graduate program at IQ-UNESP, and a founding member of LAMPS - Latin American Metabolic Profiling Society.

Dengue is a febrile infectious disease caused by the DENV virus, and has become a worldwide health crisis. The transmission of DENV virus by the Aedes aegypit vector in Brazil causes profound impacts on the health system, where vaccines and drugs for these diseases are non-existent. Exploring key mechanisms or targets for DENV virus replication is an essential approach in the development …
This proposal is based on work previously carried out by the researchers, where the potential of Latin American biodiversity is recognized. In this context, Brazil and Colombia are the most biodiverse countries in the world, having a unique source of natural products that can be used in response to multiple needs, including health. The study of biodiversity, associated with its sustainabl…

The increase in the world's population brings the need for greater energy production, making this one of the greatest challenges for the 21st century. A sustainable alternative is the production of energy using lignocellulosic biomass from the cocoa shell. In 2017, 4.2 million tons of cocoa were produced, of which 85% is made up of waste (cocoa husk, cocoa bean shell, and mucilage), so th…
Fuel production from renewable resources is of extreme importance, especially nowadays. A promising source of biomass for this production is microalgae, photosynthetic unicellular organisms present in almost all aquatic and terrestrial environments, considered the main oxygen producers on Earth. Recently, they have been studied for biomass production based on their high biomass productivi…
In this research project, the chemical profile of the ethanolic extract of young leaves from Sorocea bompladii (Moraceae) will be analyzed using high performance separation techniques (HPLC) associated with mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), allowing the detection and structural elucidation of secondary metabolites. In this context, given the great potential of m…
Natural products have always been an important source of drugs and compounds with bioactive properties, but the discovery of new compounds has been declining in recent years, due to the knowledge of the main chemotypes found in plants. In an attempt to overcome this problem, the chemistry of natural products has sought other alternatives, including the use of sources still underutilized, …

The discovery of new bioactive molecules from natural sources has been decreasing over the years, mainly due to the identification of the main chemotypes, the challenges of a reductionist approach and the incorporation of combinatorial chemistry. To overcome this problem, the chemistry of natural products has targeted the use of new and unexplored natural matrixes, such as endophytic and …
The technological advances of last decades allowed the application of systemic studies into biological sciences, embracing the diverse objects of analysis into a dynamic and multifactorial context. Nowadays, this idea has supported main approaches into the "omics" sciences including functional genomics. In general, this approach aims the understanding of the organisms correlating differen…
The search for bioactive substances in natural products has stimulated integrated approaches in order to provide chemical information about the processes and interactions involved in the pharmacological responses from bioactive matrixes. Among these, metabolomics allows the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the molecular composition of an organism aiming the explanation of biologic…
