The LBQM group develops original contributions in the areas of Natural Products from Fungi and development/applications of Bionanomaterials derived from microorganisms/nanomaterials.

 

Specifically, the group has interest in the study of the secondary metabolism of microorganisms (fungi and bacteria) and the potential application of these metabolites in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, as well as in biological control programs.

Also, with the spreading use of nanostructured materials, it is essential to understand the interactions that occur at biointerface between microorganisms with inorganic/organic nanoparticles. Studies in this field can lead to the development of nanobiotechnological products with wide industrial applicability and profound impact on scientific knowledge.
