Pablo Mesa Antunez
Om mig
I was born in Málaga (Spain) in 1985 and studied Chemistry in the University of Málaga. I am mainly interested in the field of dendrimer synthesis for medical applications and also in the design of fluorophores that could be introduced in the dendritic scaffold. Since coming to KTH I´ve been also starting to be interested in how basic Organic Chemistry can be helpful to tackle some engineering problems in medicine, in particular in the field of bone fracture repair.
Now I´m enjoying a Post-Doctoral Fellow, funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation WAF program since November 2016.
