Matilde Casas Parada

Professor Matilde Casas Parada is a faculty member at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Department of Physical Chemistry within the Faculty of Pharmacy and the Materials Institute (iMATUS). She holds the academic rank of Professor and currently serves as Secretary of the Faculty of Pharmacy. Her research focuses on the physical chemistry of surfaces, biointerfaces, and colloidal systems relevant to pharmaceutical applications.

Education: She earned her doctorate from the University of Santiago de Compostela in 1990 with the thesis Action of silicic acid on monolayers of lipids and lipidoproteins.

Research Interests: Her work explores molecular mechanisms of drug-membrane interactions, including silicosis etiology, surfactant aggregation, and drug delivery systems using Langmuir monolayers and Brewster angle microscopy (BAM). Recent studies emphasize nanostructured copolymers for drug release and biointerface physicochemistry in therapeutic contexts.

Awards: None explicitly listed in the provided text.

Advising/Grants: No listed advisees or grant details provided. She coordinates the BIOINTERFAR research group since 2020, focusing on biointerfaces for localized drug delivery.

Labs/Teams: Active member of the BIOINTERFAR group, investigating drug delivery systems and membrane interactions at air/water interfaces.
