WELCOME TO
PAREDES LAB
The Paredes Lab is a research group in pharmaceutical sciences dedicated to advancing controlled, targeted, and long-acting drug delivery.
Paredes Lab operates at the interface of pharmaceutics, material science, and translational medicine. Our expertise spans nanocrystal engineering, nanosuspensions, polymeric systems, biodegradable materials, and advanced formulation strategies designed to modulate drug release in space and time.
We combine fundamental pharmaceutical technology with clinically driven questions. Our work is grounded in rigorous physical pharmacy principles while aiming to deliver practical solutions to real therapeutic challenges.
We are also a training environment. We are committed to developing independent, creative, and globally minded scientists who value excellence, collaboratioan, and integrity.
Our Mission
Our mission is to design and engineer innovative drug delivery systems that improve therapeutic outcomes where conventional formulations fall short.
We strive to:
-
Enable long-acting therapies that reduce dosing frequency and improve adherence.
-
Overcome biological barriers to enhance drug targeting and bioavailability.
-
Translate advanced material platforms into clinically relevant solutions.
-
Convert competitive research funding into high-quality, impactful scientific outputs.
Through innovation in pharmaceutical technology, we aim to transform how medicines are delivered, making treatments more effective, safer, and accessible.
Our Vision
We envision a future where drug delivery is not a limitation, but a powerful enabler of therapeutic success.
Our long-term ambition is to:
-
Be internationally recognised leaders in long-acting and nanocrystal-based drug delivery.
-
Contribute foundational knowledge that reshapes formulation science.
-
Train the next generation of scientists who will lead academia, industry, and healthcare innovation.
-
Develop technologies that meaningfully impact global health challenges.
We believe that excellence in science, combined with strong teamwork and integrity, is the path toward sustainable impact.
