Adriana Cambon Freire

Adriana Cambon Freire is a Researcher at the Department of Particle Physics, Faculty of Physics, focusing on advanced materials and biomedical applications of nanotechnology. She holds a PhD from the University of Santiago de Compostela (2014), with a thesis on amphiphilic block copolymers' biomedical properties. Her work emphasizes polymer-based nanocarriers for drug delivery, photothermal therapy, and multimodal cancer treatment.

Her research interests bridge condensed matter physics and biomedical engineering, exploring functionalized nanoparticles, gold nanorods, and polymeric systems for therapeutic applications. Key themes include targeted drug delivery mechanisms, surface functionalization effects, and bimodal therapy integration.

Publications highlight innovations in nanomaterials for cancer therapy, atherosclerosis treatment, and environmental toxic metal removal. She collaborates with the GFCP Colloid and Polymer Physics Group, advancing nanotechnology's clinical and environmental applications.
