Dr. Angeles Villanueva is a cell biologist. Her research is mainly focused on photodynamic therapy of cancer. In the last years, she has established new collaborations with research groups in the field of mag- netic nanoparticles with applications in Medicine. She has stud ied in cell cultures: i) the mechanisms of nanoparticles internalization; ii) their subcellular localization; iii) the nano- particles biocompatibility; and iv) the identification the cell death mechanism induced by heatcontrolled intracellular hyperthermia with magnetic nanoparti- cles and an alternating magnetic field.
