Juan Luis Paris obtained his B.S. (2013) and his PhD (2017) in Pharmacy at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM, Spain). During his doctoral training, he was also a visiting researcher at Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School (USA, 2016) and at the University of Oxford (UK, 2017). His PhD thesis focused on the design, synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of mesostructured silica nanomaterials for application in biomedicine. After defending his thesis, Juan Luis was a Ramón Areces postdoctoral fellow at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL, Portugal), where he worked on the combination of microfluidic techniques with self-assembled nanostructures for gene therapy. He is currently a Sara Borrell postdoctoral fellow at the Andalusian Centre for Nanomedicine and Biotechnology (BIONAND, in Málaga, Spain), working on nanostructures for allergy diagnosis and therapy. Besides research, Juan Luis is involved in scientific dissemination activities and is an active member of Farmaciencia, a professional association of pharmacists aimed at raising awareness against clinical interventions that are not backed up by scientific evidence.
