CARO LEON, FRANCISCO JAVIER

I am a clinical chemical biologist, graduated with honorable mention from the University of Sonora. During my professional development, my main interest was always related to the polymer science and nanotechnology. I obtained a bachelor's degree in November 2009. Subsequently, I developed my master's degree project at the Polymers and Materials Research Department of the same University in 2012. I carried out 2 academic stays, one of them in the laboratory of complex fluids of the Physics Institute of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí and another in the Pharmacy laboratory of the Faculté de Pharmacie of the Université Paris-Sud 11. I developed my PhD project at the Center for Research in Food and Development. In my thesis work, nanoporous matrices capable of incorporating bioactive molecules were obtained. The PhD project included the development of academic stay at the Institute of Science and Technology of Polymers in Madrid Spain. The PhD degree was obtained in August 2017. Subsequently, from 2018 to 2020 I carried out a postdoctoral stay at the Institute of Polymer Science and Technology, carrying out research related to the production and characterization of formulations of polymeric nanoparticles based on biopolymeric polyelectrolyte complexes with mucoadhesive, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. I am currently in the second year of my postdoctoral stay at the Department of Medical Physics Research at the University of Sonora, developing research related to the use of nanoplatforms applied to the treatment of infiltrating ductal carcinoma.
