She is currently a Senior Researcher at the IPEN-CNEN/SP, where she works in the field of Biomedical Optics (Biophotonics) with a focus on optical therapy and nanomaterials. Her research interests include tissue optics, photobiomodulation and photodynamic therapy.
History of Photodynamic Therapy.- Photophysical and photochemical mechanisms.- Photosensitizers.- Molecular damage.- Cellular damage.- Systemic effects.- Multimodality dosimetry.- How to enter PDT in the clinical practice?.- Basic studies in cancer PDT.- Clinical applications of cancer PDT.- Basic studies in antimicrobial PDT.- Clinical applications of antimicrobial PDT.- Other practices in PDT.- Future perspectives.
"This well-written and easy-to-read book informs the veterinary community about the possibilities of PDT. The editor and authors have done a fantastic job compiling a well-rounded and informative book on its use in veterinary medicine, the first of its kind. In the age of discovery and evidence-based medicine, this book stands to improve the understanding of, and thereby increase the use of, PDT in veterinary medicine." (Kathryn M.
