We are a multidisciplinary research group united by a common goal: to understand the formation mechanisms of inorganic and hybrid materials from molecular precursors, enabling precise control over their final physicochemical properties.
Dr. Javier Aguila-Rosas
Dr. Javier is a Pharmacist Chemist Biologist specialized in the evaluation of materials with biological applications. He is currently undertaking a postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute of Materials Research, where he works on the design, synthesis, and application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) used as drug delivery systems (DDS). His research has focused on the use of MOFs for the targeted delivery of antimicrobial agents and trace metals essential to biological processes, as well as their application in environmental remediation. The results of his work have been published in high-impact scientific journals such as Chemical Communications, Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and RSC Advances. In recognition of this work, and in collaboration with the research group, he was awarded the 2024 UAM Annual Research Prize in the area of Biological and Health Sciences for the project Linezolid@MOF-74 as a host–guest system with antimicrobial activity.
