Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Nanotherapeutics

Marcos Roberto de 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. He is currently a professor and coordinates research at UFRGS. 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.
