"What the (bio)elements/species can tell us through bioanalytical approaches", Professor Marco Zezzi Arruda

Professor Arruda is a Professor of Analytical Chemistry with expertise in a range of omics methodologies, in the context of Medicine and Environmental Sciences.

The main research lines of his research group include bioanalytical with emphasis on proteomics and metallomics, mass (ICP-MS, LA-ICP-MS, MALDI-QTOF-MS, ESI-MS, TWIMS) and atomic spectrometry (ICP OES, ETAAS, FAAS, TS-FF-AAS), sample preparation, forensic and mechanization. His current research interests include trans-disciplinary work involving speciation analysis and comparative omics of plants (i.e. soybean, sunflower, Arabidopsis Thaliana) and human body fluids (i.e. blood serum, urine, saliva) to identify possible biomarkers for transgenic species and human diseases, as well as to evaluate reactive oxygen species production, and (metallo)proteins responses under stress in a given system. He is the author or co-author over 180 research articles, 5 chapter books, 5 patents, over 40 invited lectures in national/international meetings, and Editor of 1 book – Trends in Sample Preparation. Additionally, he has over 3800 citations in the literature and an h-index of 32.
