Lívia Palmerston Mendes Email and Phone Number
Research experience spanning over 15 years, working mostly with the development of lipid and polymeric nanoparticles for the delivery of anti-cancer drugs and gene delivery systems. I work to modify and optimize formulations and assays to meet specific parameters. My background allowed me to acquire extensive formulation experience and great fluency of nanoparticle characterization techniques, including dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and in vitro drug release, analytical methods, cell-based assays and in vivo mouse models. Strong critical thinking, problem-solving, and project management skills, besides leadership experiences managing small groups of research assistants and technicians. I have always been driven by challenge, curiosity, and a desire to learn.
