Lines of Research

Research

The Hybrid Nanomaterials Group research interests are:

Magnetism and Magnetic Biodevices

Verónica Salgueiriño

Wet-chemistry synthesis of magnetic nanomaterials. Analysis of their magnetic behavior. Fabrication of structurally and chemically complex nanoscale and microscale systems that integrate magnetic transition metal oxides nanocrystals and biological components (lipids, proteins, DNA or viruses), to produce Magnetic Biodevices.

Self-assembled Molecules & Materials

Laura M. Salonen

Design and synthesis of self-assembled molecules and materials, such as covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and composites thereof. Exploration of their properties and application in the fields of environment and energy.

Nanomedicine

Lorena García Hevia

Application of nanotechnology in the biomedical field. Smart hybrid nanomaterials as targeted therapeutic tools for various diseases. Development of diverse in vitro systems, 3D spheroids, and murine models of cancer and metastasis to assess the efficacy and performance of these systems.
