Full Professor at the Federal University of Alagoas (Institute of Chemistry and Biotechnology). She graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil, and received her PhD (13/10/1983) from the Chemistry Department, UFMG. She did post-doctoral studies in London, Münster, and Paris. She was a visiting professor (10/2004 – 04/2005; 03/2007- 04/2007; 09/2008) at École Normale Supérieure, Département de Chimie, Paris. She has published >220 articles (> 250 by Google Scholar), 18 Book Chapters, and 9 patents; more than twenty papers were cited more than 100 times, and 10 more than 200. Her main contributions concern Natural Products Chemistry, Molecular Bioelectrochemistry, and Oxidative Stress/cardiometabolic/ maternal/child diseases, areas where electrochemistry interfaced with organic chemistry and health sciences. Her group isolates and tests molecules with similar efficiencies against Oxidative Stress disorders (quinones- and nitro-aromatic-based compounds) from extracts of local plants and/or from synthesis. She coordinates the RENORBIO - Doctoral program in Biotechnology in Brazil since 2021. 

Full Professor at the University of São Paulo (USP) with a Master’s degree in Analytical Chemistry from USP (1990) with focus in instrumentation for supercritical fluid chromatography, and a Ph.D. from Northeastern University, Boston, USA (1997) in bioanalytical chemistry, helping in the development of DNA sequencing technologies that led to the sequencing of the Human Genome Project. Later, (2007-2009) he spent a sabbatical leave at Harvard University in the Whitesides Group, working on the emergence of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPAD) and wax-printing. The Carrilho group, or BioMicS – Bioanalytical, Microfabrication, and Separations Group, develops new bioanalytical methods and instrumentation covering the broad aspects of genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics for human health, applied cell and microbiology in microfluidic platforms like organs-on-a-chip, searching for biomarkers for cancer, rare, and neglected diseases. Dr. Carrilho has supervised over 60 graduate students and a dozen of post-docs, has published about 200 papers with 9,000 citations, and an h index of 41.

Graduated in Chemistry (1999), Bachelor of Philosophy (2019), Specialization in Computational Statistical Methods (2004), MBA in Business and Enterprises (2014) from the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF), PhD in Analytical Chemistry from University of São Paulo (2003) and Post-Doctorate in Chemometrics from the State University of Campinas (2008). He is currently a Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, where he coordinates the Analytical Chemistry and Chemometrics Group - GQAQ and is a CNPq Research Productivity Fellow - Level 1D. The main focus of GQAQ is the development and optimization of methods for capillary electrophoresis (CE-UV and CE-MS), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC-UV and HPLC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography (GC-FID and GC-MS) for applications in food analysis (lipids, carbohydrates), pharmaceuticals (drugs, cosmetics, phytochemicals), biofuels (biodiesel), metabolomics (phytochemicals and clinical diagnostics), petroleum, environmental area, in addition to carrying out research involving the preparation of new monolithic stationary phases for use in CE and nano-LC.
