VICTOR MOSQUERA TALLON

Victor Mosquera Tallón is a Researcher at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Department of Particle Physics within the Faculty of Physics. His doctoral thesis (1987) focused on thermodynamic studies of ionic surfactant systems, supervised by Dr. Vicente Perez Villar. His interdisciplinary research spans Condensed Matter Physics, Nanotechnology, and Medical Device Innovation, with notable contributions to cardiovascular interventional techniques and polymer-based drug delivery systems.

He has pioneered advancements in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), including non-femoral access approaches and laser-assisted lead extraction. His work in biopolymer nanotechnology explores applications in cancer therapy and atherosclerosis treatment. Collaborating with groups like GFNL (Nonlinear Physics), GFCP (Colloid & Polymer Physics), and GBI (Biophysics & Interfaces), he bridges fundamental physics with clinical applications.
