Research Line

Research focused on nanomedicine and advanced drug delivery strategies, including nanoparticulate systems, liposomes, nanosuspensions, and electrospun nanofibers. As a María de Maeztu Postdoctoral Fellow, current research focuses on the development of solid and semisolid amorphous systems, including amorphous solid dispersions, nanofibers, and hydrogels, to stabilize poorly soluble active molecules in their amorphous state and optimize their delivery for anticancer applications.
