PABLO AGUIAR FERNANDEZ

Pablo Aguiar Fernández is a Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry and the Department of Radiology. He leads research within the Molecular Imaging and Medical Physics Group (MIMP), part of the Center for Research in Molecular Medicine and Chronic Diseases (CIMUS). His doctoral work from the University of Barcelona focused on PET imaging methodologies (2008), mentored by Dr. Domènec Ros Puig and Dr. Javier Pavia Segura.

His research emphasizes molecular imaging techniques, particularly PET, applied to neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's), oncology, and inflammatory conditions. Key interests include drug delivery systems (e.g., nanoparticles for ophthalmic use), pharmacokinetic modeling, and diagnostic biomarker development. He collaborates widely on preclinical studies involving animal models (e.g., tauopathy mice, uveitis rats) and translational imaging applications.

Notable contributions include optimizing tau PET quantification methods, evaluating anti-inflammatory therapies, and advancing brain drug delivery via nanotechnology. His work bridges clinical neurology, radiology, and pharmacology, with a focus on improving diagnostic precision and therapeutic efficacy.

Laboratory affiliations include the MIMP Group, where he develops imaging tools for early disease detection. His projects often integrate computational modeling (e.g., SimPET platform) and functional data analysis to address challenges in brain imaging standardization and disease staging.
