PhD student in the postgraduate program in Nanosciences and Advanced Materials at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) and collaborating researcher in the Brazilian Nanotechnology National Laboratory under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Adalberto Fazzio and co-guidance of Dr. Diego Stéfani Teodoro Martinez. She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Biotechnology from the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), where she was a member of the SolBIN (Solid-Biological Interface Group) group under the guidance of Dr. Amauri Jardim de Paula developing works in the area of nanobiotechnology. She has experience in syntheses and colloidal stabilization of nanomaterials, focusing on the study of nanomaterials and polymers formulations, characterization techniques (Zeta Potential, DLS and DCS), Protein Corona and nanotoxicology. Currently, she is developing projects in the field nanotoxicology and the application of computational modelling (Density Functional Theory - DFT and machine learning) for understanding of the interface between nanomaterials and biological environment.

There is a growing concern of the scientific community and regulatory agencies on the potential impacts of nanomaterials on human and environmental health, especially due to the expansion of nanotechnology industry. Several factors, such as modification of nanomaterials in the environment via dissolution processes, aggregation, formation of biomolecular coronas and interactions with othe…
When released into the environment, nanomaterials engage in interactions with the present organic and metals pollutants altering their bioavailability and resulting in complicated mixture toxicity effects. Biomolecular coronas formed upon the release significantly affect this process, competing with pollutants for surface interaction sites or multiplying the possibilities of interactions.…
