Biography
Judith Guasch received her PhD in 2011 working at the Institut de Ciència de Materials (ICMAB-CSIC) in Barcelona (Spain). Afterwards, she carried out postdoctoral research at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (Stuttgart, Germany). Currently, she holds a senior postdoctoral research position at ICMAB-CSIC after being awarded with a TecnioSpring fellowship (Marie Curie Fellow, Cofund – Catalan Government and EU). Since 2017 she is also a head of a Max Planck Partner Group (Dynamic Biomimetics for Cancer Immunotherapy) in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research (Heidelberg, Germany).
Research Interest
We are focused on the design, synthesis, and fabrication of multifunctional molecular and supramolecular materials for biomedical applications. Special interest is devoted to study the cell-material interaction for improving novel adoptive cell therapies for the treatment of cancer.
