Susana Carregal Romero holds a PhD from the University of Vigo and is a Ramón y Cajal Researcher and Ikerbasque Research Fellow at CIC biomaGUNE in San Sebastián. She is a member of the Biomedical Research Networking Center for Respiratory Diseases (CIBERES) and the European Society for Molecular Imaging.
Her work focuses on the development of multifunctional nanomaterials capable of interacting with biological systems to improve the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Her research explores how nanoparticles behave in the body and how they can be designed for innovative biomedical applications.
She is particularly interested in chronic diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, a serious condition that affects respiratory function. As a principal investigator, she leads several research projects aimed at developing more effective and precise nanomedicines for the treatment of this disease, including BiomTher, NanoSurf, and LUNG-GENEMED.
Her goal is to help translate advances in nanotechnology into new therapeutic strategies capable of improving patients’ quality of life.
