Vicente's research focuses on advancing the frontiers of imaging technologies for biological and medical applications.

Prior to joining the IIBM, Vicente worked as an OSA Deutsch Research Fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Brett E. Bouma at the Wellman Center, Massachusetts General Hospital.

Vicente completed his PhD in Biophysics at Harvard University and in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, working in Dr. Adam E. Cohen's lab on the development of microscopes and optogenetic protocols for high-speed optical neurophysiology.

Previously, Vicente was a Fellow in the MIT-Madrid M+Vision consortium, where he worked to reduce colorectal cancer mortality by increasing the sensitivity of colonoscopy to premalignant lesions, and to improve molecular imaging in oncology by multiplexing Positron Emission Tomography (PET).

He completed his studies in Electrical Engineering and Master's degree at the Catholic University of Chile, where he developed a theoretical framework with the aim of enabling cheaper Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners.
