Daniel García-Lojo is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Domingues Research Group, contributing to the ERC Grant FORTIFy. He is a materials chemist specialising in plasmonic and magnetic nanomaterials, with a strong background in designing ultrasensitive SERS platforms, nanoparticle assemblies, and functional hybrid nanomaterials. His current work focuses on the synthesis of magnetic nanomaterials and their integration into 3D-bioprinting systems to engineer biomimetic tissue constructs for regenerative therapies targeting musculoskeletal disorders. He also contributes to the development of in vitro models aimed at improving the understanding of physiological and pathological processes in the musculoskeletal and nervous systems.

Daniel holds a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Vigo. His research career includes the fabrication of plasmonic supercrystals, inkjet-printed SERS sensors, chiral and multimetallic nanostructures, MOFs, and hybrid nanomaterials, supported by broad experience in microfluidics, self-assembly, and advanced electron microscopy. He has authored 14 peer-reviewed publications in Q1 journals, covering areas such as plasmonics, analytical sensing, and nanomaterials for biochemical detection.
