Faculty of Chemistry and Biology / Department of Materials Chemistry

The laboratory aims to develop advanced electroanalytical methodologies, capable of detecting and quantifying heavy metals and pharmaceutical products with high sensitivity, selectivity and specificity, using electrodes modified with nanomaterials, polymers and macrocyclic compounds. These methodologies are essential for environmental monitoring, food quality control, and the evaluation of pharmaceutical products’ biosafety and efficacy, thereby contributing to the protection of public health and care for the environment, creating a multidisciplinary and highly applied research field, combining electrochemistry, analytical chemistry, nanotechnology and materials chemistry.
