Patricia (Pati)
Mora-Raimundo

Dr. Patricia Mora Raimundo is an Azrieli International Postdoctoral Fellow in the Wolfson Department of Chemical Engineering at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology under the supervision of Prof. Avi Schroeder.

Her main area of research is drug delivery to the brain as a means for the potential treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Patricia’s research focuses on the design of brain-targeted lipid nanoparticles and the use of music to enhance their uptake and accumulation in the targeted tissue. She hopes to contribute to the understanding of how music is involved in nanoparticle uptake and can thus enhance the efficacy of nanotherapeutics. Patricia believes that the use of music as a non-invasive approach will open new possibilities in the field of nanomedicine.

Patricia was born and raised in Madrid and completed her BSc in pharmacy at the Complutense University of Madrid, where she also pursued her PhD under the supervision of Prof. María Vallet-Regí and Dr. Miguel Manzano. Her research focused on developing new nanomedicines based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles for osteoporosis treatment. Outside the lab, Patricia loves art, yoga and dancing ballet and flamenco. Through her research, she is fulfilling her dream of combining the two fields for the well-being of humanity.
