Nanobiomaterials

The Nanobiomaterials research group is interested in understanding the particularities of cell-nanomaterial interactions with the aim of generating biocompatible nanomaterials capable of being used in vivo in various applications, such as localized, target-specific drug delivery, or the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Additionally, the group seeks to apply bioconjugated fluorescent nanoparticles to unveil complex biological phenomena at the nanoscale using super-resolution microscopy and single-particle tracking in living cells.

Ongoing projects
Fluorescent nanoparticles (quantum dots) for real-time monitoring of cell membrane deformation in the synaptic area
Core-shell magnetic nanoparticles for hyperthermia and drug release
Tracking of extracellular vesicles with bioconjugated quantum dots
Multicellular spheroids as avascular tumor models
