Lucas is currently a Guest Visiting Researcher at CQMED/UNICAMP - Center for Medicinal Chemistry, at the State University of Campinas, where he participates in public-private partnerships with national and international collaborators. He is involved in the execution and management of research projects that aims the development of inhibitors and chemical probes, function elucidation of understudied proteins, and validation of therapeutic targets, with particular interest in human kinases and RNA binding proteins. Worked as a scientific coordinator in an Embrapii project alongside the biotech company Hilab, specialized in diagnostic technologies. He has a degree in biomedicine from the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro (2011), a master's degree in Science and Technology/Chemistry (2013) and a PhD in Biosystems (2017) from the Federal University of ABC, with an internship at McMaster University, Canada. He has experience in Molecular Biology, with an emphasis on cloning and gene expression, Biochemistry, with an emphasis on enzymology, and Structural Biology. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

With the aim of expanding the druggable proteome and lead to the discovery of new medicines, we work on the characterization of understudied human proteins, which show preliminary connection to disease. Within this aim, research has been expanded on the importance of protein related to RNA biology as antibody and drug targets, including the proteins 'per se' and their upstream modulators …
Human tissue kallikreins (KLKs) are a group of serine proteases found in many tissues and cells, therefore they are related to a variety of physiological processes. Kallikreins also catch attention for being differentially expressed in cancer tissues, what suggests that they can be used as cancer biomarkers. Several studies with fluorescent peptides have contributed towards the characteri…
The human tissue kallikreins (KLKs) comprise a family of fifteen serine proteases found in a diversity of biological fluids and tissues. These enzymes are identified as having function in different diseases such as Alzheimer's, cancer, atopic dermatitis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, psoriasis, and others. Thus there is a growing demand for specific inhibitors for each of these kallikr…
