Pamela Soto Garcia is a postdoctoral researcher at the Biomaterials Laboratory, Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, Brazil (PUC-SP) and at Pure and Applied Biochemistry Laboratory, Lund University, Sweden, with a FAPESP fellowship. Her current postdoctoral project involves the development, characterization and application of a thermosensitive hydrogel incorporated with bee propolis and chitosan modified by hyaluronic acid to promote wound healing. In addition to her research projects, Pamela has been involved in a project at the Biomaterials Laboratory (LABIOMAT) focused on developing resorbable devices based on PLDLA-TMC for bone repair as a researcher in the service provision modality. She obtained her PhD in Sciences from the Institute of Tropical Medicine of São Paulo (IMT), at the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, where her thesis focused on the development of an atomic force microscopy nanoimmunosensor to detect multiple sclerosis. Pamela also holds a Master's degree from the São Carlos Federal University (UFSCar) in Brazil and a Bachelor's degree in Health Technology from São Paulo State Technological Colleges, campus Sorocaba (FATEC-So), Brazil. Additionally, she accomplished internships at Dante Pazzanese Cardiology Institute (IDPC), where she worked with the in vitro evaluation of a new prototype of a centrifugal pump called "Spiral Pump" used in extracorporeal circulation and completed advanced studies in public health microbiology at Adolfo Lutz Institute (IAL). Pamela has an extensive experience in hydrogels, biomaterials, nanotechnology, nanoscience, atomic force microscopy, development of nanosensors, demyelinating diseases, clinical analysis, public health microbiology, and tissue engineering.
