Vita
Dr. Juan Pablo Fuenzalida-Werner is a protein engineer and he restructures proteins so that proteins can respond to light in different ways. His final objective is to optimize protein performance in optoelectronic materials.
Dr. Fuenzalida Werner studied pharmaceutical chemistry at the Universidad Austral de Chile. He obtained his Ph.D. in protein and polysaccharide nanomaterials from the University of Münster, Germany, in collaboration with Johns Hopkins and Hyderabad University. As a postdoc in the Helmholz Zentrum Münich, he developed proteins for optoacoustic imaging and he crossed the line to optics for the development of an optoacoustic multimodal spectrometer and the optimization of other imaging modalities.
