I am an archaeologist who obtained a BA degree in archaeology at the University of Lisbon, an MA at University College London.
I have a background in molecular biology tools for the design and expression of recombinant proteins with different functionalities for biomedical, nanotechnological and cosmetic applications. My formation includes experience with the interaction of cells with protein-based materials. I also have the know-how on materials characterization.
My current research interests are 1) Development of protein-based formulations for hair cosmetic products; 2) Hair as an analytical tool for the control of therapies and food supplementation; 3) in vitro culture of cells and screening of molecules bioactivity; 4) valorization of natural resources and 5) enzymatic biotechnology

Deformable Liposomes for the Transdermal Delivery of Piroxicam
Abstract
Objective: Deformable liposomes have been used to improve drugs transdermal delivery. These vesicular systems were employed to deliver piroxicam through the skin as a mean to treat inflammatory diseases and avoid undesired side-effects.
Methods: Deformable liposomes, composed by egg-yolk phosphatidylcholine, sodium cholate and α-tocopherol, were prepared by the thin film hydration method followed by extrusion. Piroxicam wa... view moreĀ»
