Autorentext

Marco Aurélio Zezzi Arruda is Full Professor at the University of Campinas - Unicamp (Campinas, Brazil), Department of Analytical Chemistry, head of the Sample preparation, spectrometry and mechanization group - GEPAM, and member of the advisory board of the National Institute of Science and Technology - INCT for Bioanalitics. Additionally, he acted as invited professor at Pau University - Pau, France, and at University of Ballears Island - Palma, Mallorca, Spain. The main research lines of his research group include bioanalytical with emphasis on metallomics and proteomics, 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.
