Tomás García-Sánchez

Tomás García-Sánchez is a Researcher at the Electronic and Biomedical Instrumentation Group within the Electronic Engineering Department at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona. He holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering (2015, cum laude) and an M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering (2010) from the Universitat Politècnica de Valencia. His research focuses on bioelectrical applications, including electroporation, bioimpedance measurements, microelectrode design, and electrical stimulation of cells.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering (2015), UPC
• M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering (2010), UPV/UV
• Ingeniero Superior en Telecomunicaciones (2010), UPV

Research Interests: García-Sánchez specializes in developing devices and techniques for in vitro electroporation and bioimpedance analysis of adherent cells. His work bridges electrical engineering and biomedical applications, with a focus on microelectrode design, cell culture monitoring, and myocardial tissue impedance studies. He has conducted international collaborations, including STSM grants at the Institute Gustave Roussy (Paris) and VUB University (Brussels).

Key Contributions: He co-authored patents on electrode assemblies for electroporation and has published extensively in journals like Biomedical Microdevices and Journal of Membrane Biology. His research emphasizes real-time impedance spectroscopy during electroporation and non-contact in situ electroporation techniques.
