Research Interest and expertise in the field of nutraceuticals and functional food
To provide in vitro 3D physiologically-relevant in vitro models of biological tissues and organs to study the relationship between food and health. My research interest is focused on the development of in vitro models of target organs by means of Organ-on-chip and bioprinting technology and ECM-like hydrogels synthesis.

Keywords: Organ-on-chip, in vitro models, bioprinting, hydrogels, microfluidic platform

Nutraceuticals and foods of interest
Any of interest. I would like to provide a platform to study the response of the biological tissue and organs to neutraceuticals of interest, such as vitamins, probiotics, minerals, and others.

Fields of application
Neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases, cancer

Facilities and equipments
All the open Facilities available at Nanotec, such as Tecnomed, nanochemistry and clean rooms
