Maria López Alonso

Maria López Alonso is a Researcher at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), where she conducts interdisciplinary work at the intersection of engineering and life sciences. Her research bridges nanotechnology with clinical medicine, focusing on biomedical applications and materials characterization.

Her primary research domains include Nanobioengineering, Biomedical Engineering, Hepatology, Nanotechnology, Materials Science, and Electrochemistry. She specializes in nanoscale bioelectrical characterization techniques and their application to liver disease mechanisms and diagnostic material development.

Analysis of her publications reveals two convergent research trajectories: one applying nanotechnology to medical diagnostics (e.g., electrochemical surface characterization for sensing applications), and another addressing clinical hepatology challenges (e.g., portosystemic shunt dynamics in liver cirrhosis). This dual focus exemplifies IBEC's mission of translating engineering innovations into healthcare solutions.

She actively contributes to IBEC's Nanoscale Bioelectrical Characterization research group, which develops cutting-edge methodologies for probing electrical phenomena in biological systems at the nanometer scale.
