Dr. Salvador Blasco started his PhD in 2006 at the University of Valencia as a PhD student in Prof. Enrique García-España's group, with an FPU grant to carry out research on the synthesis and development of novel mimetics of superoxide dismutase. He obtained his PhD in 2011 with honors. Dr. Blasco also did active research on the study of interactions in aqueous solutions, switchable DNA probes, crystallography, electrochemistry and microbiology that resulted in a number of papers and contributions to congresses and symposia. After the thesis defense, he was awarded a Marie Curie IEF postdoctoral grant for 2 years in Trinity College Dublin with Prof. Thorfinnur Gunnlaugsson, starting in 2013. The major topic of Dr. Salvador Blasco's research in this period was the development of novel luminescent nanomaterials for the signaling, detection and treatment of cancer. This work is based on ruthenium polypyridyl complexes, nanoparticles and metallosurfactants, which are able to modulate their toxicity at will with light irradiation and selectively kill cancer cells. They can also be used as DNA luminescent probes. Later, Dr. Blasco returned to U. Valencia to do active research on metal complexes of polyamines with biological applications and lectured in University of Valencia and CEU-Cardenal Herrera University. He obtained a Juan de la Cierva-Incorporación for 2 years. Currently, he is Assistant Professor at the University of Valencia. He is teaching and supervising 1 PhD student.
