Ana Paula RamosAna Paula Ramos got her first degree in Chemistry in 2004, and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry in 2009. She is currently an associate Professor of Physical-Chemistry, at the University of São Paulo-Brazil and a researcher of the Brazilian National Counil for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). She is the coordinator of the Physical Chemistry of Colloids and Surfaces Laboratory, with expertise in surfaces modification and characterization by microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. Her main research interests are the synthesis of biomaterials for bone replacement and regeneration. In special, her current projects focus on the use of biomimetic matrices inspired by the interaction of phospholipids and osteogenic proteins found in matrix vesicles as modifiers of metals used for dental implants. Moreover, she is currently investigating the role of strontium on physiological and pathological mineralization. Read More Read Less
