Dr. Ivonne González-Gamboa is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Biomedical Engineering
Group at Tec de Monterrey. Ivonne began to pursue a career in science while studying her
bachelor degree in Biotechnology Engineering with a minor in Research and Innovation at Tec
de Monterrey. She later obtained a Fundación Carolina Fellowship to do a M.Sc. in
Agrobiotechnology at the Polytechnic University of Madrid.
In order to further develop the
expertise needed to merge her knowledge in plant viruses and biomedical applications, she
pursued a Ph.D. in Bionanotechnology, endorsed by a CONACYT Scholarship, under the
direction of Dr. Fernando Ponz, graduating in September 2017 with a Cum Laude mention.
Her research has been featured in high-ranked journals regarding bionanotechnology and its
applications in diagnostics and immunization. Currently, her work is centered on developing
chemically-modified viral nanoparticles (VNPs) as biomaterials for tissue regeneration and
control release, as well as microfluidic devices for cancer-on-chip applications.
