I am a Latin American(Chilean) pharmacist passionate about proteins and colors. I obtained my PhD at the University of Munster (Germany) and the University of Hyderabad (India) on proteins-polysaccharide interaction, and since then, I have been engineering new proteins. I love proteins, particularly Protein-based polymers, nanobodies, lipocalins, and fluorescent proteins. I am a newly appointed Professor at the University of Navarra and a Ramón y Cajal Fellow. I have a proven track record of innovating in protein engineering and polysaccharide base materials, with 34 published articles, two submitted patents, and over 900 citations. In short, by playing Lego with proteins and polysaccharides, I try to satisfy my curiosity, advance science, and produce knowledge through protein engineering and spectroscopy.
