Biography
Prof. Jaume Veciana is a Full Professor at the Institut de Ciencia de Materials de Barcelona, ICMAB-CSIC, Group Leader at CIBER-BBN, and Scientific Director of the Large Facility ICTS NANBIOSIS. After his PhD, he did a postdoc at The Johns Hopkins University (USA) working on molecular electronics. His current research interest focuses on Molecular Nanoscience and Technology, and Nanomedicine. Prof. Veciana co-authored more than 550 journal articles, 16 international patents, and edited two books receiving in 2001 the Solvay Award, in 2004 the Real Sociedad de Quimica Española Award and in 2005 the DuPont Award for his contributions in Molecular Nanoscience.
Research Interest
Research interests are focused on the design, synthesis, and processing of functional –(poly)radicals, electroactive, redox, bioactive, etc- organic molecules/polymers as advanced functional molecular materials and their applications in the following areas and topics:
Publications
-
• Obtaining and study of new radical molecules for their use as contrast and nuclear polarizing agents in magnetic resonance techniques.
-
• Discovery and development of a new type of non-liposomal vesicles, called quatsomes, that present an unprecedented stability.
-
• Cellular growth engineering by the nanostructuration of a bacterial protein aggregates on different surfaces.
