Well-trained chemist with a Master's in Nanomedicine for Drug Delivery, autonomous and proactive, with excellent communication skills, and work experience in multicultural groups. Currently working on the development of an electrochemiluminescent-based biosensor incorporating dye-doped silica nanoparticles for the detection of target antigens in biomedical samples. Previously, I have worked on the development of functionalized liposomes as drug carriers for the targeted delivery of active molecules to the human placenta, avoiding transfer to the fetal side for safer treatment of placental disorders. My first research work consisted in the preparation of bovine serum albumin nanoparticles functionalized with luminophores as potential biomedical imaging tools, fullerene C60 or gold nanoclusters as potential photothermal or photodynamic theragnostic tools.
