Proteomics Technology Center (NuTeP) Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 The Proteomics Technology Center (NuTeP) works to develop mass proteomics approaches based on mass spectrometry using different acquisition methods (DDA, DIA, PRM, SRM) to explore various biological microenvironments. The robustness of proteomic analysis lies in its ability to reveal potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets; NuTeP specifically applies…
Drug discovery Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 The Drug discovery group works to leverage pharmaceutical innovation in Brazil, combining two of the country’s main competitive differentials: its rich biodiversity and cutting-edge research and science infrastructure. To do so, a platform was created that allows discovery initiatives to be carried out in a fluid and effective manner.…
Computational biology Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 The areas of biotechnology have benefited significantly in recent decades from advances in science and technology which have led to the production of large quantities of data on biological systems. Today, a biological process can be approached considering gene architecture, protein structure and diversity, as well as the diversity…
Non-Membrane Organelles Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 Non-membrane organelles are cellular structures that do not have a lipoprotein membrane surrounding them. Most of these organelles are made up of biomolecular condensates composed of proteins and nucleic acids, and play fundamental roles in regulating complex biological processes and maintaining cellular functions. With advanced techniques in molecular, cellular…
This group studies diseases caused by microorganisms which are highly prevalent in tropical countries and affect a large portion of the global population that lives in socially and economically vulnerable conditions
This group works with arboviruses, viral diseases transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes. The main focus is on arboviruses that have not yet been widely studied but are potentially emerging and present in Latin America
Molecular and Cellular Sociology Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 LNBio’s Molecular and Cellular Sociology Group is dedicated to the study of functional interactions between molecules and cells within the native tissue environment, with a focus on understanding the mechanisms that sustain the progression of diseases such as cancer. This group investigates how proteins, enzymes and molecular…
Neglected Tropical Diseases Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 The research group that focuses on neglected diseases works to advance by means of scientific knowledge to combat infectious diseases that affect more vulnerable populations. It studies proteins in parasites in order to discover small molecules that affect their function in order to consequently control the progress of…
Virology Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 The study of viral proteins provides a more comprehensive understanding of virus biology, which is essential for the development of treatments, diagnostic methods and vaccines. Arboviruses (which are transmitted by arthropods like mosquitoes) are a global health problem that has worsened with climate change. Diseases like dengue, zika, chikungunya, and…
