Daria Lebed Lebed
Daria Lebed is a PhD candidate and research assistant at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC), specializing in materials science and nanotechnology for drug delivery. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Technologies Engineering, with a specialization in Materials Engineering, from the University of Seville, and a Master's degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, where she graduated with the highest academic distinction.
Her doctoral research at URJC focuses on the synthesis and characterization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles for drug delivery, through the encapsulation of pharmaceutical agents and their controlled release. She develops and applies organic chemistry techniques for nanoparticle synthesis, studies drug release kinetics and biological stability, and evaluates biocompatibility using MTT assays on relevant cell lines.
She is an expert in materials science and engineering, with strong theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the synthesis, characterization, and simulation of a wide variety of materials. Her undergraduate thesis focused on the biomechanical modelling of a human pelvis for the simulation of pubic symphysis lesions using ANSYS (Finite Element Method). Her master's thesis, conducted in collaboration between Universidad Carlos III and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) – Institute of Materials Science of Madrid (ICMM), explored the hybridization of an intelligent copolymer with nanomagnetic particles.
She is experienced in laboratory work and brings a strong commitment to research and innovation, particularly in the development of novel materials for healthcare and advanced technology applications. Her work is driven by a deep passion for discovery and a continuous pursuit of scientific excellence.
