Rodrigo Ferreira, PhD, is a Professor and researcher working in the areas of nanoparticles, surface chemistry, and carrier systems for biomedical applications. He obtained his PhD in Biochemistry from the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) and completed postdoctoral training in protein biochemistry, nanotechnology, and molecular biophysics, including research experience at the National Cancer Institute (USA). His research is centred on nanoparticle–protein interactions, surface functionalisation, peptide- and polymer-based nanocarriers, and supramolecular approaches applied to drug delivery and therapeutic development. His work addresses problems related to rare diseases, cancer, and inflammatory conditions. Dr Ferreira has experience in postgraduate teaching and research supervision and has acted as a Visiting Professor in Medical Sciences programmes. His academic activity combines experimental and conceptual aspects of biointerfaces and nanomedicine.
