Nano-Oncologicals New Targeting and Delivery Approaches

María José Alonso is Professor of Biopharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Technology at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) in Spain. She has made critical contributions to the design of novel nanostructures for the targeted delivery of drugs and vaccines and to the understanding of the interaction of nanoparticles with biological barriers. She is part of the scientific boards of a number of societies and the executive board of the Controlled Release Society. She is also a member of the editorial board of eight prestigious journals in the field of drug delivery.

Marcos Garcia-Fuentes is an Associate Professor of Pharmacy at Spain’s University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), where he also obtained his Ph.D. He was a visiting scholar at Purdue University in Indiana, USA and a Marie Curie postdoctoral scientist at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. He was recognized with a competitive contract from the regional government for the reintegration of excellent researchers. Marcos has work in the design of biomaterials and nanostructures for medical applications. His current focus is on nanomedicines and biomaterials for modulating progenitor cells and cancer stem cells.
