Jorge Follana Berná was born in Callosa de Segura (Alicante) in 1989. He obtained his degree in Chemistry at the Universidad de Alicante in 2013, and his postgraduate degree, in “Fine and Molecular Chemistry” at the Universidad de Murcia, in 2014, working on “New Platinum(II) Complexes with N-Heterocyclic Carbenes for the Treatment of Cancer” under the supervision of Dr. Natalia Cutillas and Dr. José Ruiz. In July 2014 he joined the research group of Prof. Ángela Sastre-Santos making PhD studies of Bioengineering. On October 2020, he defended his PhD thesis awarded with the "Cum Laude" qualification.
