Dr. Christian Chapa

Christian Chapa is a leading researcher at the Universidad Autonoma de Ciudad Juarez (Mexico) and head of the NANOMEDICINE research group. His research interests focus on nanomedicine, physico-chemical properties of biomaterials and nanomaterials, mainly with the teragnostic approach. In 2012, he formed the research group for the proposal and execution of research projects related to the preclinical investigation of interactions between biomaterials or nanomaterials with biomolecules, clinical analytes, bioactive compounds, and drugs to develop nanomedicine systems proposed for the identification of molecular targets for the diagnosis and treatment of a range of human diseases. This research group develops activities focused on innovative application of scientific knowledge. In 2020, he formed the Laboratory for Integration of Data and Evidence in Health and Science Reviews LIDERSC to conduct critical reviews with the goal of providing robust and reliable evidence to answer research questions and support decision making in health and science. He was president of the Scientific Committee of the Mexican Society of Biomedical Engineering in 2018-2019 and received recognition from the International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering for his outstanding work as vice president of the Scientific Committee for the VIII Latin American Congress of Biomedical Engineering. He has more than 30 scientific articles, 8 book chapters and more than 50 presentations in congresses
