Biography

My scientific work is interdisciplinary encompassing chemistry, materials science and biology and inspired by my work experience at world leading institutions in three different continents. My research steps are intrepid, innovative and solid from synthesis of materials to cell cultures pushing the state of the art while blending disciplines. I strongly believe on the power of scientists to speed the translation of materials to a final product and its potential to run the world-economies.

Since May 2011 I joined the ICMAB-CSIC as Researcher within the Group of Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites.

Currently my research is divided in two parts: 1) the production of bacterial cellulose materials and their nanocomposites and 2) the evaluation of nanoparticles using different approaches such as cell cultures and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
