Biography

Luciano Paulino Silva (Silva, L. P. or da Silva, L. P.) was graduated in Biological Sciences from the University of Brasilia (UnB) in 2000, and received a Ph.D. degree in Animal Biology from the same University in 2004. During 2005-2006, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Embrapa Genetic Resources and Biotechnology developing approaches to image biological materials using atomic force microscopy and imaging mass spectrometry. He is currently a Senior Researcher of the Embrapa Genetic Resources and Biotechnology working on area of Nanobiotechnology applied to agriculture and biomedical fields developing projects on prospection of biomolecules and development of nanosystems (synthesis, characterization, and activities). He has authored and co-authored 128 full-length scientific papers in internationally indexed journals (most of them about frontier themes of the nanoscience and nanotechnology), two books, ten book chapters, and nine patents of technological products and processes. He is member of the editorial team of the Journal of Membrane and Separation Technology, International Journal of Membrane Science and Technology, Applied Cell Biology, Recent Patents on Nanotechnology, SM Journal of Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine, and Frontiers in Plant Science; and serves as ad hoc reviewer for several mainstream scientific journals. He was awarded with several Brazilian and international prizes, including the TWAS ROLAC Young Scientists Prize 2012 and he was affiliated member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (2007-2012).
