Specialty: Design and development of new carriers capable of delivering these kinds of API to their target through the use of Nanotechnology.
PhD in Pharmacy, Research and Drug Development, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Spain, 2014.
He is currently working as an Asistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacy of the Faculty of Chemistry at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
The research that we carried out in our Applied Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology Laboratory is based on creating new carriers capable of delivering these kinds of API to their target. In the design and development stage of these new carriers, we make use of nanotechnology to encapsulate active molecules, protect them, increase their orientation or selectivity and overcome complex biological barriers. These innovative drugs are designed to be administered by newer routes, which include nasal and transdermal route.
