Ivone Carvalho

She completed a PhD in Organic Chemistry in the Chemistry Institute at University of Sao Paulo (1991), and Post-doctorate studies in the laboratory of Prof. Alan A. Haines at the University of East Anglia (UEA), England, in Carbohydrate Chemistry (1995-1997, two years) and Post-doctorate in the laboratory of Prof. Robert A. Field at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, in Glycopeptide Chemistry (2000, 6 months). She started her independent career at the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences f Ribeirao Preto, University of Sao Paulo, where she became a lecturer in Medicinal Chemistry in 1987. In 2003, she was appointed as Associate Professor and in 2009 was promoted to Full Professor. Currently, IC is a member of the Carbohydrate Research Editorial Board. Her research focuses on the design, synthesis and evaluation of compounds with potential biological activities, mainly related to carbohydrate, such as mono-, di-, and oligosaccharides and iminosugar and carbasugar, and glycopeptide, as well as heterocycles having quinazoline, quinoline, 3,5-diketopiperazine nucleus and 1,2,3-triazole scaffolds, using ?Click Chemistry?. Chemical approaches are used to develop agents to specifically target a known physiological/pathological pathway of T. cruzi in the course of Chagas and Alzheimer diseases, tumour and diabetes. She has CNPq scholarship Research Productivity 1C. In the period from 2005 to 2008 she was President of the FCFRP-USP Undergraduate Commission and from 2009 to 2010 was deputy of the Head of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Currently, she is a member of the Congregation and Sector Assessment Commission for progression in the teaching career, Pharmacy Area University of São Paulo. She published 82 articles in International and National Journals, being 34 articles related to carbohydrate synthesis and biological evaluation with co-authors from International Community, 15 book chapters, 03 patents and 164 abstracts presented in Congress and participated in 125 events. She received the award of Tetrahedron as the Most Cited Paper 2006-2009, Elsevier and between 2010 and 2011; IC was the Top 25 cited author of Bioorganic Medicinal Chemistry and Tetrahedron (Elsevier). She supervised 07 Post-doc, 11 PhD theses, 17 Master and, currently, the research group is formed by 02 PhD students and 012Master and 05 co-workers. Research ID: C-5806-2012 and Orcid code: 0000-0002-2028-777X; Her work in the Carbohydrate area was recognized by Elsevier Editors, who invited her to become a member of the Editorial board of the Carbohydrate Research since 2015. Currentely, she is the Brazilian representative at ICO (International Carbohydrate Organization). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
