VICTORIA DIAZ TOME

Dr. VICTORIA DIAZ TOME is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Department of Pharmacology, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Technology under the Faculty of Pharmacy. She is a member of the PARAQUASIL Interdisciplinary Group, focusing on Pharmaceutical Technology and Parasitic Immunobiology. Her doctoral thesis (2023) centered on Development of topical ophthalmic formulations for fungal keratitis treatment, supervised by Dr. Francisco Javier Otero Espinar and Dr. Ángel Fernández Ferreiro.

Her research interests span ophthalmic drug delivery systems, nanomedicine, antifungal therapies, and formulation strategies to enhance drug bioavailability. She has contributed to innovations in hydrogel-based treatments for gastric polyps, PLGA-based intravitreal implants for retinal diseases, and cyclodextrin-enhanced drug delivery for corneal conditions. Her work integrates preclinical characterization, biopharmaceutical assessment, and translational applications in pediatric and adult ocular health.

Key contributions include studies on mucoadhesive nanoparticles for lactoferrin delivery, thermosensitive hydrogels for endoscopic interventions, and combination antifungal therapies for fungal keratitis. Her publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches bridging material science, pharmacology, and clinical ophthalmology.
