Jesus Cano Sierra

Jesus Cano Sierra is a Full Professor at the University of Alcalá's Department of Organic Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry. His research centers on dendritic nanosystems for biomedical applications, including drug delivery, antiviral agents, and cancer therapeutics. He co-leads the Nanosistemas Dendríticos para Aplicaciones Biomédicas group, focusing on carbosilane dendrimers and metal complexes.

His work spans multiple domains:

• Drug Delivery: Designing pH-responsive dendrimers for targeted therapy.
• Antiviral Research: Developing dendritic systems to inhibit HIV-1.
• Cancer Therapy: Using ruthenium complexes to disrupt cancer signaling pathways.
• Environmental Remediation: Creating dendrimer-based nanomaterials for heavy metal removal.

He has secured significant funding, including grants from MICINN and UAH, such as PID2020-112924RB-I00 (€145,200) for dendritic nanosystems in infectious diseases. His recent publications emphasize polymerization catalysis, dendritic nanomaterials, and biomedical applications.

Awards:

• Programa I3 Research Incentive Award (2010).

Professor Sierra's lab utilizes advanced synthetic chemistry to address biomedical and environmental challenges, with ongoing projects extending through 2025.
