Gene and Light NanoTherapies Lab
Institute for Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia (IQAC-CSIC)
Advanced Nanotechnologies for Gene- and Light-Based Therapies
At the Gene and Light NanoTherapies Lab (GLNT Lab), we design and evaluate nanoparticles and nanostructures for biomedical applications.
Our primary focus is on gene delivery and photonic stimulation to achieve photothermal and photomechanical effects, all with a strong emphasis on the development of novel therapeutic approaches.
Our mission
We're on a mission to change the way the housing market works. Rather than offering one service or another, we want to combine as many and make our clients' lives easy and carefree. Our goal is to match our clients with the perfect properties that fit their tastes, needs, and budgets.
Our vision
We want to live in a world where people can buy homes that match their needs rather than having to find a compromise and settle on the second-best option. That's why we take a lot of time and care in getting to know our clients from the moment they reach out to us and ask for our help.

BubblyBots4BC project
MCIN funded projects “Generación del Conocimiento”
FPI position
A 4-year predoctoral contract contract associated with BubblyBots4BC project will be opened soon
Our main research lines include
Nanocarriers for Gene Therapy
We develop nanosystems —particularly for siRNA delivery— to treat diseases such as bladder cancer, diabetic wounds, and for the reprogramming of immune cells.
Photothermal & Photomechanical Effects
Using light-responsive nanomaterials and pulsed laser irradiation, we explore direct cytosolic delivery and light-triggered endosomal escape to enhance intracellular access of therapeutics.
Light-Triggered Immunogenic Cell Death
We’re expanding photoporation technology for whole tumor cell vaccines, with a focus on eliciting robust and targeted anticancer immune responses.
We believe in translating nanoscale innovations into real-world therapies through a combination of smart design, light-based modulation, and deep biological insight.
