Sr. Diego Baranda Martínez-Abascal
I did my Bachelor in Biology at the UIB and I subsequently studied the Master's in Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Barcelona (UB). Before arriving at the VHIR I had an internship contract at the Institute of BioEngineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and I carried out a research stay at the Institute of Molecular Biology of Barcelona (IBMB - Spanish National Research Council, CSIC). The obtention of a University Teacher Training grant (FPU) allowed me to join the VHIR in order to carry out my doctoral thesis in the Drug Delivery and Targeting group. My project is based on the development of an alternative therapy for pancreatic cancer using genetically modified extracellular vesicles (EVs). I'm also working on other projects that pursue the development of the use of EVs for the treatment of minority diseases. In addition, I continue my training with the doctoral courses of the UB and I participate in scientific dissemination activities organized by the VHIR, among other things.
Thanks for your interest :)
