On September 8th 2017, Pr. Bagnato gave a conference in the ONCO-THAI lab. His talk was about Photodynamic therapy and its applications. Pr. Bagnato is internationally recognized for his work in physics and photodynamic therapy and it was our great honor to welcome him in our lab for a really nice and fruitful meeting.
Professor Bagnato's activities are based on laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms and applications of optics and laser to health science. He has pursued pioneering work in the field of atomic and molecular physics with worldwide recognition. He has studied Quantum Turbulence involving atomic superfluid, and time and frequency metrology with the construction and evaluation of the first atomic clock developed in Latin America and the first pilot plant for the production of high precision microscopes. Recently the research group under his guidance implemented for the first time in Brazil the clinical use of Photo-Dynamic-Therapy for the treatment of cancer and microbiological control. A strong relation between basic research and industry is one of the characteristics of the work carrried out by Bagnato, resulting in the implementation of high technology industries in the field of optics. During his academic life, he has supervised over 60 graduate students and he is presently supervising 21 graduate students involved in several research programs as well as many undergraduates. He maintains close international relations with many institutions around the world. Diffusion of science organizing a special TV channel and public exhibitions are part of his activity
