About us
Our research explores several
complementary directions, all rooted in organic synthesis and
the strategic use of light—from
fluorescence to controlled photo-irradiation. We
create tailor-made molecules and functional polymers designed
to tackle pressing biomedical challenges.
A major focus is the
development of fluorescent tools to visualize reactive species inside
living cells, providing insight into processes linked to cancer and
other pathologies. In parallel, we translate photochemical concepts into
therapy-oriented platforms, designing photoactive systems that can
selectively eradicate cancer cells and microbial pathogens. In
particular, we pursue light-triggered therapeutic approaches such
as photodynamic therapy (PDT), where illumination activates our
compounds to produce cytotoxic effects with spatial and temporal precision.
By combining synthetic
chemistry, photophysics, and biological validation,
we aim to deliver both advanced diagnostic
probes and next-generation therapeutic strategies—from
intracellular sensing to targeted phototherapies.
About Universitat
Jaume I
Universitat
Jaume I (UJI), located in Castelló
on Spain’s Mediterranean coast, is a modern public university with
a strong research-driven culture and an international outlook.
UJI hosts numerous research groups spanning chemistry, materials
science, life sciences, engineering and social sciences, fostering interdisciplinary
projects that translate fundamental discoveries into real-world impact.
Researchers benefit from high-level infrastructure and
specialized support services, including the Central Scientific Instrumentation
Service (SCIC), which provides advanced experimental research facilities and
expertise to UJI groups.
With a compact, well-connected campus environment, UJI
offers an attractive destination for international talent
