DR. MARIO MARTÍNEZ MINGO
Mario Martínez-Mingo obtained his BSc in Chemistry in 2015 and his MSc in 2016 from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. He then realized his PhD at UAM under the supervision of Prof. Juan Carlos Carretero and Dr. Nuria Rodríguez focusing on the selective functionalization of C–H bonds through long-range metallacycle intermediates, stabilized by sulfur containing coordinating moieties.
Then, he joined Dr. Álvaro Somoza´s group as a post-doctoral researcher in IMDEA Nanoscience focused on the synthesis and functionalization of nanostructures for therapeutic purposes. Currently, he is a researcher in IMDEA, and his research aims on the development of novel targeting therapies based on aptamers, the delivery of therapeutic oligonucleotides including siRNA, ASO, pDNA, mRNA, and the development of novel therapeutic nanosystems.
