I obtained my degree in Pharmacy from the University of the Basque Country, in 1993, (being awarded with the extraordinary prize). I hold a PhD in Pharmacy, also from the UPV/EHU, in 1998, being Associate Professor since 2000. I hold 4 six-year positive evaluations of my research and 4 five-year positive evaluations of my teaching. My research is currently focused in vaccine formulation by means of microparticulate systems and in the use of nanoparticles for pulmonary delivery. During my research career, I have done research stays in Glasgow (UK), Trondheim (Norway), and as a postdoctoral researcher in Montreal (Canada).
