Graduated at Pharmacy from Universidade de São Paulo (1998), PhD at Organic Chemistry from Universidade de São Paulo (2003) and posdoctoral at School of Chemistry, University of Nottingham (2014). Associate Professor on Organic Medicinal Chemistry at Universidade Federal de São Paulo - Campus Diadema. The main research interests rely on (1) the study of physical and chemical properties of ionic liquids and deep eutectic mixtures as solvents and/or immobilization media for catalysts commonly employed in multicomponent reactions applied to the synthesis of biologically active heterocyclic compounds, and (2) Desing and synthesis of highly diverse libraries of imidazo-fused heterocycles and nitrogen-based hetrocycles/furoxan hydrids with potential anticancer activity against colorectal cancer and melanoma, exploring MAPK pathway targets (KRAS and BRAF).
