Linha de Pesquisa

Exploração funcional e diagnóstica de biomoléculas e xenobióticos e interação fungo-hospedeiro.

Descrição

Estudo de atividade antifúngica a partir de fontes naturais e sintéticas, investigando alvos através de determinações genômicas e proteômicas e por meios de bancos celulares complementando o processo de desenvolvimento de moléculas importantes para obtenção de pró-fármacos, bem como sua eficácia e segurança por métodos alternativos.

Estudo dos aspectos básicos das diferentes doenças fungicas com ênfase nos aspectos celulares, moleculares e/ou fisiopatológicos.
