Platinum-based nanoparticles for radiotherapy enhancement
Generation of scientific insights
My latest scientific article arises from the collaboration with the Instituto de Salud Carlos III, where I conducted a research stay during 2023 and 2024. Thanks to this work, we could explore the use of ultrasmall, platinum-based nanoparticles as enhancers of radiotherapy for antitumoral therapy. Thanks to this collaborative work, I could devleop and strengthen several aptitudes, such as multiple project management, adaptability to new environments, results presentation and collaboration between different entities.
Inorganic NPs for cancer treatment
Generation of scientific insights
Study of the biological effects of Cu- and Fe-based nanoparticles as antitumoral therapy, which led to the publication of several scientific articles in Q1 journal. This project led me to strengthen several skills that are useful in a translational role, like working in an interdisciplinary team, generating scientific insights and solving problems based on data and evidence.
Oral presentation in international scientific conference
Presentation (English spoken) of the main results generated up to that point in my doctoral thesis to an expert, multidisciplinary audience. This opportunity allowed me to improve my public speaking skills in front of a large audience, as well as to effectively communicate the key insights of my work within a limited amount of time. Conference: Nanomaterials Applied to Life Science, 2022 (Santander, Cantabria).
Scientific review
Reviewing and synthesizing scientific information
Writing, design and formatting a scientific review about the principal interactions of nanoparticles with nucleic acids. This work required searching, understanding, and synthesizing a large amount of information from multiple sources.
Hobbies & Interests
🏀 Playing basketball
After 20+ years playing this sport, basketball has provided me with many qualities that I still carry with me today, such as teamwork, leadership, discipline, dedication, resilience and passion for sports. These qualities led me to win 2 individual prizes, also leading my team to be champions of the league. I also obtained the Certification of Basketball Coach (Level I), spending one year as Assistant Coach in the sports club where I played, learning the management of a team and leading our team to the league victory.
👟 Practicing other sports
During the last years, I had the opportunity to practice and enjoy different sports and activities, such as padel and mountain hiking, still practicing them occasionally. In addition, I also enjoy running regularly, with the current objective of improving my running time in 5K races, following a scheduled plan
📚 Reading
Reading books has always been one of my favorite activities, serving as a space for relaxation and reflection. My preferences have changed over the years, reading either novels or essays, yet there are some genres that I particularly enjoy, such as epic fantasy or personal development. I am also a huge fan of comics, manga and graphic novels.
✈️Travelling
I have always thought that visiting other cities or countries, and experiencing other cultures is a really enriching experience. Also, I am the kind of person that enjoys planning trips, having organized trips to many places in Spain, as well as to different countries such as France, UK, Germany, Austria and USA. During my Erasmus+ programme, I also travelled to a wide variety of different places in Italy, diving into and enjoying the culture of that country.
