Valtencir Zucolotto is a Professor at the University of São Paulo, São Carlos Physics Institute (Brazil) and coordinator of the Nanomedicine and Nanotoxicology Laboratory (LNN/IFSC).
Prof. Zucolotto´s research interests are focused on the development of Theranostic Nanomaterials, including nanoparticles, nanotubes and nanorods for applications in Nanomedicine. Specific research lines include the synthesis, bio-functionalization and processing of hybrid nanocomposites for Cancer and Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) diagnosis and therapy, as well as the development of highly sensitive biosensors and genosensors. Nanotoxicology studies at Prof. Zucolotto´s group comprise in vitro and in vivo analyses to evaluate the impact exhibited by nanomaterials on health, agriculture and environment.
