J. Angel Navarro-Becerra, PhD

I am a multidisciplinary researcher and professor advancing the interface of materials science and biomedicine to address critical challenges in healthcare. My work focuses on the design and physicochemical understanding of acoustically responsive biomaterial systems, integrating principles from physics, chemistry, and biology to precisely control interactions at the biointerface. By establishing quantitative structure–function–performance relationships, I advance the development of materials for targeted drug delivery and ultrasound molecular imaging, enabling precision diagnostics and localized therapy in cardiovascular diseases and cancer. I am actively pursuing faculty positions to lead innovative research programs, translate fundamental discoveries into impactful biomedical technologies, and mentor the next generation of scientists.
