Physics Institute of S\u00e3o Carlos, University of S\u00e3o Paulo (IFSC\/USP), under the supervision of Prof. Valtencir Zucolotto. Although I\u2019m a physicist by training, my research has continuously evolved to embrace interdisciplinary challenges, bridging physics, chemistry, materials science, and (more recently) biology.<br \/>My research focuses on the development of biomimetic nanoparticles coated with cell membranes for targeted drug delivery in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). As part of this project, I\u2019m conducting a one-year research internship at the University of Groningen, under the supervision of Prof. Flavia Sousa, to develop an in vitro blood\u2013brain barrier (BBB) model that reflects the complexity of brain tumors. This work, carried out in collaboration with Prof. Marina Trombetta, aims to enhance our understanding of BBB penetration and improve the therapeutic delivery of cell membrane-coated nanoparticles to the brain.<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a54ed7 e-flex e-con-boxed
