Dr. Martín A. Fernández Baldo

Martín A. Fernández-Baldo (Mendoza, Argentina, 1977) obtained his degree as national biochemist (2007) and his Ph.D. in biochemistry at the National University of San Luis (UNSL, Argentina) in 2011 under the guidance of Prof. Julio Raba, where his research explored the development of electrochemical biosensors with synthesized nanomaterials applied to the agri-food area, followed by postdoctoral positions at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP, Brasil) with Prof. Nelson Durán (2011) and then at Pfizer-University of Granada-Junta de Andalucía Center for Genomics and Oncological Research (GENYO, Spain) with Prof. José A. Lorente (2012), where he investigated the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials for antimicrobial and cancer applications. Currently, he is an adjunct professor of clinical analysis at the UNSL and National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET, Argentina) and a staff scientist. Dr. Fernández-Baldo’s research interest comprises the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials for their incorporation as platforms for the immobilization of biomolecules in biosensors for clinical, environmental, and agri-food applications.
