José Antonio Fojo Vazquez

José Fojo is a PhD student working on the development of programmable giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) as cell-mimetic architectures. His research addresses limitations in the design of autonomous and reconfigurable microdevices by using GUVs, synthetic analogs of biological membranes with shape-shifting and semi-permeable properties. The goal is to create programmable, motile GUVs with controlled mechanical properties and responsiveness to external stimuli like magnetic, electric, or light fields, paving the way for innovative applications in synthetic biology and drug delivery. With a strong background in Physics from the University of Granada and a Master’s in Nanomaterials, José has explored colloidal physics and programmable materials, laying the foundation for his current work.
