Marta Pardo Andrés
Dr. Marta Pardo Andrés is a Ramón y Cajal researcher and expert in psychobiology at the Molecular Recognition and Technological Development Inter-University Research Institute (IDM). Her work studies magnetoelectric nanoparticles for treating Parkinson’s disease. These particles can be directed using magnetic fields and generate a local electric field in response to an externally applied magnetic field in vivo. They are also studied as nanotheranostic agents for solid tumours.
