Prof. Anderson RM de Oliveira - Responsible
email: deoliveira@usp.br
Graduated in Pharmacy-Biochemistry, doctorate and postdoctoral in Toxicology. He has been working mainly on the following themes: stereoselective separation of drugs and metabolites by HPLC and capillary electrophoresis, method validation, development of miniaturized sample preparation techniques and in vitro metabolism studies.
Giovanni Stoppa Baviera - Doctoral Student
email: giovanni.baviera@usp.br
He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from FFCLRP–USP and a Master’s degree in Sciences from the Graduate Program in Chemistry at the same institution. He is currently a PhD student in the same program, working with analytical method validation and in vitro metabolism. He has experience in organic synthesis, identification and purification of compounds using chromatographic methods, and structural elucidation of organic molecules through standard spectroscopic techniques (IR, NMR, MS).
Leandro Oka Duarte - Doctoral Student
email: leandro.oka@usp.br
He holds a degree in Chemistry from UFG/REJ and a Master's in Science (Chemistry) from FFCLRP/USP. He was a member of the Electrochemistry, Electroanalytical and Forensic Chemistry Group and is currently a member of the Laboratory of In vitro Metabolism and Separation Techniques, in the same department. He works in the area of analytical chemistry and separation sciences, with an emphasis on the development and validation of techniques for preparing and analyzing biological samples. Among the research interests are: GC, HPLC, capillary electrophoresis, mass spectrometry with applications aimed at forensic toxicology and studies of enantioselective metabolism involving chiral pesticides.
Arthur Avila - Master’s student
email: arthuravila86@usp.br
He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry with emphasis in Technological Chemistry, Biotechnology, and Agro-industry from the University of Sao Paulo. He is currently a Master’s student at the same institution. During his undergraduate studies, he worked in the Laboratory of In Vitro Metabolism and Separation Techniques (LabMets) as a CNPq-funded research intern. He later continued in the same laboratory as a research trainee, developing chiral chromatographic methods, and is now pursuing his Master’s degree with the project titled “Evaluation of the Effects of the Herbicide Glyphosate and Its Main Metabolite, Aminomethylphosphonic Acid (AMPA), on Human Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) Enzymes.”
Isabella Sandrini Vieira - Master’s student
email: isasanvieira@usp.br
Master’s student in Analytical Chemistry at the University of São Paulo (USP), conducting research on enantioselective in vitro metabolism and in vitro–in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) of the pesticide cycloflumetofen. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from USP and a technical degree in Chemistry from ETEC Prof. José Carlos Seno Júnior. Throughout her academic trajectory, she has received several awards, including the Lavoisier Prize (2019 and 2025) and medals in national Mathematics Olympiads. Her interests include analytical chemistry, chemical metabolism, and applied scientific development.
Tamires Helena Barretta Brambilla - Master’s student
email: tamiresbarretta@usp.br
She holds a technical degree in Chemistry from Etec Dr. Adail Nunes da Silva and a Bachelor’s and Licentiate degree in Chemistry from the University of São Paulo. She is currently a Master’s student in the Graduate Program in Chemistry at the same institution, where she is a member of the Laboratory of In Vitro Metabolism and Separation Techniques (LabMets). Her work focuses on analytical chemistry, chromatography, and in vitro metabolism studies of chiral pesticides. Her ongoing dissertation is titled “Enantioselective Analysis of the Pesticide Clethodim and In Vitro–In Vivo Correlation After Metabolism by Human Liver Microsomes.”
