Resistance of glioblastoma cells to photodynamic therapy

---

Biography

She develops her research work looking for mechanisms of tumor resistance to photodynamic therapy (PDT). She has developed studies on biodistribution, biocompatibility and phototherapeutic efficacy in mice using synthetic photosensitizers. L. Milla has completed her doctorate at National University of Río Cuarto (under the supervision of Dr. Viviana A. Rivarola) and at Autonomous University of Madrid (under the supervision of Dr. Ángeles Juarranz). She has isolated and characterized PDT-resistant glioblastoma cells with the aim of studying possible therapeutic targets and will expand her studies on this topic to contribute to the treatment of this severe type of cancer.
