María José Alonso Fernandez (born 22 December 1958) is a full professor of biopharmaceutics and pharmaceutical technology at the University of Santiago de Compostela.[1] The laboratory[2] she leads is specialized in pharmaceutical nanotechnology and nanomedicine, and her research is oriented to the development of nanostructures for targeted delivery of drugs and vaccines. Her discoveries have led to significant clinical advances in the development of potential new treatments for cancer, ocular diseases, skin diseases, diabetes, obesity and other autoimmune pathologies, as well as new vaccines.

Professional experience and scientific career

María José Alonso has a master's degree in pharmacy (University of Santiago de Compostela – USC, 1985) and a PhD in pharmaceutical technology (USC, 1985). She has also developed her research career at the University of Paris XI and at the University of Angers (France), as well as in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

In 2006–2010 she held the responsibility of Vicerrector of Research and Innovation at the University of Santiago de Compostela. In this role she created a network of research institutes that contributed to the recognition of "Campus of Excellence" by the Ministry of Sciences and Innovation.[3]

She is a member of the National Academy of Medicine[4] (U.S.), a member of the Royal Academy of Medicine of Belgium,[5] and a member of three academies in Spain (Real Academia Nacional de Farmacia,[6] Real Academia de Farmacia de Galicia[7] and Real Academia Galega de Ciencias[8]).

Alonso has held responsibilities in several scientific societies, among them the Controlled Release Society.[9] She first contributed to the CRS as the founder of the Spanish-Portuguese Local Chapter (1994), and later she was Gobernor, Director-at-Large, Secretary and President of this society.[10] Moreover, she is part of the editorial board of 11 scientific journals, and editor-in-chief of the Drug Delivery and Translational Research.[11]

She has coordinated and participated in several research consortia financed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the European Commission.

She is the most influential researcher in Spain in the area of pharmacology and pharmacy (h-index),[12] and is also classified among the top ten researchers in her field worldwide (Times Higher Education Ranking).

Drug delivery research

María José Alonso's Lab is focused on designing novel nanostructured materials intended to transport drugs and antigens across biological barriers (such as cellular, ocular, nasal, skin and intestinal barriers) and deliver them to the target tissue. Alonso's research is specialized in the association of biological compounds, including drugs and antigens to these nanovehicles, with the final goal of producing innovative nanomedicines and vaccines.
