Biografía

In 2010, I obtained a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Valladolid, but it was a year earlier when I began my activity in the TESEA group thanks to a collaboration grant from the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science. Subsequently, she completed the master’s in advanced chemistry Techniques (2010-2011) in the same group, and developed my doctoral thesis in the following years, including a three-month pre-doctoral stay at the University of Lund (Sweden) in 2014 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Charlotta Turner, which culminated in obtaining the PhD in Chemistry from the University of Valladolid (International Mention and Extraordinary Doctorate Award) in July 2015. Since September 2015, I was working as Assistant Professor (Profesor Asociado) in the Department of Analytical Chemistry of the University of Valladolid and developing my research work in the TESEA group. I have combined these tasks in the University with the job of an Analytical Development Technician in the pharmaceutical company Crystalpharma-AMRI global (04-2016/10- 2020). Since October 2020, I have been working in the department of analytical chemistry of the University of Valladolid as Assistant Professor (Profesor Ayudante Doctor). During this period of time, I have worked with several analytical techniques, atomic and molecular absorption, molecular fluorescence and with separation techniques such as simple and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (LC or UHPLC) coupled to different detectors (DAD, FLD, CAD, MS, MS / MS), gas chromatography (GC) with several detectors (ECD, FID, MS, MS/MS) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) with DAD or MS detection. In addition, I have participated as author / co-author in 33 articles in SCI publications (24 T1), 22 communications to congresses, and 4 book chapters, and I have performed more than 30 revisions for JCR journals. I have a H-INDEX of 12 and more than 480 citations. Moreover, I have directed 9 bachelors´ and 4 Masters´ Theses projects, and I have collaborated in 4 Research Projects, 5 Teaching Innovation projects (1 as coordinator), and 3 R & D Contracts with companies and administrations. From November 2021, I am supervising one PhD student. My research work is currently focused on the determination of residues of pesticides, drugs, and bioactive compounds in various matrices (agri-food, veterinary-pharmaceutical and environmental). In particular, I have focused my attention in the last years on bee products, such as honey, bee pollen, beeswax and royal jelly.

Biography

Graduated in Chemical Sciences from the University of Valladolid in 1990 and obtained a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Valladolid in 2003 in close collaboration with the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (Aranda de Duero, Burgos). I have participated in drug stability studies and method validation in collaboration with the aforementioned company. After more than 10 years as Administration and Services Personnel (PAS) of the University of Valladolid in the Laboratory for Testing and Contrasting of Precious Metals authorized CL-1, which was directly linked to the Department of Analytical Chemistry, I was contracted as an Assistant Professor (2004-2008) in the Department of Analytical Chemistry, after that, with a Ramón y Cajal contract from 2009 to 2014. Then, I changed to Assistant Professor Doctor in 2014, until 2018, when I obtained an Associate Professor (Profesor Titular de Universidad) position. During this period of time I has worked with various analytical techniques, liquid chromatography (HPLC, UHPLC) coupled to various detectors (DAD, FLD, MS, MS/MS), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), atomic and molecular absorption, applied to the analysis of food, contaminants or drugs. I have collaborated in several research projects focused preferably on the analysis of beekeeping samples, both for the characterization of honeys and the determination of pesticide residues and the study of compounds dedicated to combating various pathologies and proposing alternative treatments. In different area, I have worked with supercritical fluid chromatography combined with extraction with supercritical fluids, in order to obtain compounds of nutraceutical interest, in particular from broccoli leaf by-products. Such techniques have also been applied to enantioselective separations in the pharmaceutical industry. I belongs to the CINQUIMA University Institute of the University of Valladolid and to the TESEA Research Group (GIR 127, UIC 179), where I conduct my research. As a result of this activity, I have directed four PhD theses, 5 bachelor’s theses, 8 end-of-degree projects and 7 master’s degree projects. I am the author / co-author of 66 SCI scientific publications, 2 book chapters, I have also presented 53 communications to Congresses, and I have participated in 15 research projects and 10 R&D contracts.
