Juan L. Paris

Juan Luis Paris obtained his B.Sc. (2013) and his PhD (2017) in Pharmacy at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM, Spain). During his doctoral training, he was also a visiting researcher at Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School (USA, 2016) and at the University of Oxford (UK, 2017). His PhD thesis focused on the design, synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of mesoporous silica nanomaterials for application in biomedicine. After defending his thesis, Juan Luis was a Ramón Areces postdoctoral fellow at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL, Portugal), where he worked on the combination of microfluidic techniques with self-assembled nanostructures for gene therapy. Afterwards, he was a Sara Borrell postdoctoral fellow at the Instituto de Investigación Biomédica de Málaga (IBIMA, Málaga, Spain), working on nanostructures for allergy diagnosis and therapy. In 2022, he was also a visiting researcher at Queen's University Belfast (UK), working with on microneedle patches for allergy immunotherapy. He is currently a Ramón y Cajal Researcher at IBIMA, and his research line focuses on the development of bio- and nano-materials for therapeutic immunomodulation.
