Alejandro SosnikDr. Alejandro Sosnik received his Pharmacy degree from the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry of the University of Buenos Aires in 1994, after two years as junior research scholar of the University of Buenos Aires in the field of organic chemistry 1993-1995). In early 1997, he moved to Israel where after obtaining the pharmacist license, he continued his graduate studies, receiving PhD in applied chemistry (polymeric biomaterials) from the Casali Institute of Applied Chemistry (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, 2003) under the supervision of Dr.Daniel Cohn. In 2003-6, Dr.Sosnik undertook postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Professor Michael Sefton (Institute of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry/Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto, Canada) working in the development of hybrid matrices for cell culture and tissue engineering. Between 2006 and 2013, Dr. Sosnik was Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutical Technology at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry (University of Buenos Aires) and Investigator of the National Science Research Council of Argentina. Owing to its multidisciplinary background and expertise at the interface of drug research and development and polymeric biomaterials, in late 2013, Dr.Sosnik was appointed Associate Professor of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Technion-Israel Institute of Technology where he founded the Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Nanomaterials Science. His research focuses at the interface of drug crystallization and processing, polymer chemistry, biomaterials science, nanotechnology and microtechnology, drug delivery, and therapeutics. Dr.Sosnik is co-author of over 110 peer-reviewed articles, reviews, editorials and book chapters in areas of pharmaceutical research and development and innovation, and co-inventor in three patents and patent applications related to biomedical and pharmaceutical innovation.
