Jonatas Lobato Duarte, PhD, São Paulo State University, Brazil

Dr Jonatas Lobato Duarte holds a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences from São Paulo State University (UNESP), along with a Master’s degree and a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy from the Federal University of Amapá (UNIFAP). He is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at UNESP, specializing in cancer nanomedicine and advanced drug delivery systems. His research interests include developing nanostructured carriers and intranasal delivery strategies for central nervous system disorders, especially glioblastoma. Dr Duarte has published extensively in high-impact journals and has supervised numerous undergraduate and graduate research projects in nanotechnology and pharmaceutical innovation.

About the Collection

BMC Neuroscience is calling for submissions to our Collection, Nanotechnology in neuroscience.

The intersection of nanotechnology and neuroscience has emerged as a groundbreaking field, offering innovative approaches to treating neurological disorders. Nanoparticles, nanotubes, and nanofibers are being explored for their unique properties that enable them to interact with biological systems at the molecular level. This Collection seeks to showcase research that delves into the applications of nanotechnology in neuroscience, from drug delivery systems to biosensors, and the potential of nanomaterials to enhance our understanding of neural mechanisms.

Advancements in nanotechnology could lead to the creation of highly specific therapeutic agents that can target neural pathways with precision, minimizing side effects and improving patient outcomes. Additionally, the evolution of advanced biosensors may enable real-time monitoring of brain activity and responses to treatment, paving the way for tailored interventions.

Topics of interest to this Collection include, but are not limited to:

Applications of nanoparticles in neurotherapeutics
Targeted drug delivery systems for neurological disorders
Nano biosensors for real-time neural monitoring
