Pedro obtained a M.S. in polymer chemistry from the University National Autonomous of Mexico (UNAM) in 2015. Then, he moved to the University of Bordeaux at the Laboratory of organic polymers (LCPO) where he accomplished his PhD in 2021 under the supervision of Dr. Colin Bonduelle and Prof Pierre Verhaeghe, preparing antimicrobial polypeptoids as simplified analogues of antimicrobial peptides. In the same year he moved to UCLA, where he is working with Prof. Heather Maynard on developing degradable biobased polymers for biomedical applications from in a collaborative effort within BioPACIFIC. He likes swimming, biking, and going to the beach during his free time.
