Profile

I have diverse interests within the world of research. However, my greatest interest is in therapeutic chemistry, mainly focused on the development of intelligent chemical structures that respond to particular biochemical stimuli by releasing active or fluorescent compounds. Examples of these structures are prodrugs, theragnostics, molecular capsules and chemical sensors. Currently, I am developing my research career in precisely this field, working on the synthesis and characterization of prodrugs and supramolecular structures capable of selectively releasing chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of colon cancer.
