Job Title: Research Support Technician
Description of Group/Project:
The Nanomedicine Lab aims to generate and disseminate fundamental knowledge in the field of nanomedicine by bringing together nanotechnology, bioengineering, pharmacology and their translation to advanced, clinically-relevant therapeutics and diagnostics.
Our mission is to pioneer the cutting-edge and emerging discipline of nanomedicine by bringing advanced materials and nanoscale platforms to the clinic.
The main lines of research in Nanomedicine Lab include:
Nanomaterials as transport systems for therapeutic and diagnostic applications against cancer and neurodegenerative disease.
Translation of advanced materials to the clinic.
Discovery of novel liposome and vesicle systems to be used as components of therapeutics in oncology and neurology.
Neurotechnology based on versátil, thin-film technologies for therapeutic applications in oncology and neurology.




The Nanomedicine Lab has been awarded one of the prestigious ERC Synergy Grants titled SKIN2DTRONICS, which aims to develop ultra-conformable, soft and thin (skin-like) electronic implantable devices using two-dimensional materials for brain cancer monitoring and detection of tumor recurrence. This is a collaborative effort with colleagues from Università di Pisa, Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid-CSIC, and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
The Nanomedicine Lab also has strong collaborative links and projects with the Center for Nanotechnology in Medicine at the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health of The University of Manchester in the United Kingdom.
