Dhésmon Lima Hired at Mount St. Vincent

Dr. Dhésmon Lima holds a B.Sc. (2014) and aM.Sc. (2016) degrees in Chemistry obtained at the State University of Ponta Grossa (Brazil), in which he conducted research focused on the green synthesis of noble metal nanoparticles and the design of electrochemical sensors for quality control of pharmaceutical formulations.  He obtained his Ph.D. degree (2020) in Analytical/Inorganic Chemistry at the State University of Ponta Grossa in partnership with the University of Toronto (Canada), in which he focused on the design of electrochemical biosensors to detect protein disease biomarkers,  including cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Dhésmon Lima joined the research group of Dr. Sabine Kuss at the University of Manitoba (Winnipeg, MB, Canada) as a postdoctoral fellow in 2021, conducting research in Bioelectrochemistry, mainly in the study and detection of rare mitochondrial diseases and drug resistance in cancer, the detection of mycotoxins in Canadian grains and the design and application of didactic experiments for Analytical Chemistry undergraduate laboratories. Dr. Dhésmon Lima will join the Department of Chemistry and Physics of Mount Saint Vincent University (Halifax, NS, Canada) as an assistant professor of Analytical Chemistry this summer, where he intends to apply (Bio)Eletrochemistry and Nanotechnology as tools to provide solutions for environmental issues and cancer diagnosis.
