Hybridizing Surface Probe Microscopies

Susana Moreno Flores graduated with a degree in chemistry at the Complutense University (Madrid, Spain), where she also did her doctorate studies at the Department of Physical Chemistry. Thereafter she did postdoctoral stays at the Department of Statistical Physics of the Ecole Normale Superieure (Paris, France), at the Max-Planck Institute of Polymer Research (Mainz, Germany) and at the Chemistry Department of the University of Basel (Basel, Switzerland), before she worked as researcher in the Biosurfaces Unit at CIC BiomaGUNE (San Sebastian, Spain). She is currently assistant professor at the Department of Nanobiotechnology of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (Vienna, Austria).

Jose L. Toca-Herrera (Santander, Spain) is Professor of Biophysics at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU-Vienna, Austria). After receiving his degree in Physics from the University of Valencia, he carried out a 12-month research training at the Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research (Mainz) with Prof. Wolfgang Knoll. He completed his Ph.D. at the Max-Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (Golm) under the supervision of Prof. Helmuth Moehwald. After several postdoctoral stays with Prof. Regine von Klitzing (TU-Berlin), Prof. Jane Clarke (University of Cambridge) and Prof. Uwe B. Sleytr (BOKU-Vienna), he joined in 2004 the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Rovira i Virgili University (Tarragona) as RyC research professor. In 2007 he moved to CIC BiomaGUNE (San Sebastian) led by Prof. Martin-Lomas as group leader. In September 2010, he joined the Department of Nanobiotechnology at BOKU (Vienna) where he leads the Laboratory of Biophysics.
