Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Nanotherapeutics

Dr Oliveira PhD earned his bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences at Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in 2005, followed by a Master’s and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the same institution. His research focuses on the neuroprotection mediated by natural molecules and involves studies on mitochondrial physiology, redox biology, bioenergetics, and inflammation in both in vitro and in vivo experimental models. Dr Oliveira has published numerous articles on peer-reviewed Journals, including Molecular Neurobiology, Chemico-Biological Interactions, Biotechnology Advances, and Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity. He has also edited a book on the effects of plant molecules on the mitochondria Mitochondrial Physiology and Vegetal Molecules: Therapeutic Potential of Natural Compounds on Mitochondrial Health and a book on the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in both neurological disturbances and intoxication Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Nanotherapeutics: Aging, Diseases, and Nanotechnology-Related Strategies in Mitochondrial Medicine.
