Breu Presentació
I obtained my PhD in the Department of Organic and Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the UCM (Spain) in 2010. My research was focused on the synthesis and biological activity studies in tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid natural products. During this period I acquired experience in the structural elucidation of complex scaffolds using NMR facilities. In addition, I was trained in parallel synthesis to carry on SAR studies. As a result of this work, nine publications in refereed journals, one book and thirteen presentations at national and international meetings came out. During my PhD, I also spent five months in Prof. A. Ganesan´s group (University of Southampton) working in the synthesis of Malformin and analogues in order to carry on biological studies. Since March 2011 till March 2013, I was working in Darren Dixon's group at the University of Oxford after being awarded a prestigious Marie Curie fellowship. My research project involved the design and development of enantioselective isocyanoacetate addition reactions under cooperative base and Lewis acid catalysis. As a junior researcher, I managed my own research project, supervised a first year PhD student and frequently proof read other member’s theses, research updates and manuscripts for publication. As a result of this work, three publications in refereed journals, and two presentations in international meetings came out. During my academic career, I have had the opportunity to benefit from national grants, such as "Collaboration Fellowship", "FPU Fellowship" for carrying out the PhD, "FPU Fellowship for PhD stays in foreign countries" and international grants such as "Marie Curie Fellowship" for a Postdoctoral stay of 2 years at Oxford University. Also I have had the opportunity to successfully teach undergraduates of Pharmacy Degree at UCM and first year undergraduate of Chemistry Degree at Wadham College at Oxford University. Since September 2013 to December 2014, I was working as a Junior Researcher in Villapharma Research Company, managing a five researchers group to develop API´s synthesis for Janssen S.A. From January 2015 to January 2016, I was working at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid as a Postdoctoral Research in Professor Cardenas´s group. I was carrying out the research in the development of first-row transition metal catalyzed reactions for the formation of C-C bonds and C-B bonds starting from low functionalized reagents, with the aim of performing wide-scope, environmentally friendly transformations. In addition to the above mentioned experience, from January to november 2016 I attended a Pharmaceutical Industry and Regulatory Affairs Master in order to acquire knowledge and experience in other Pharmaceutical areas, and the same time I was working as a Quality Assurance Technician in Medinsa-Aristo. I continued working as a Quality Assurance Technician in the same company until september 2017. In september 2017 I became lecturer in Pharmaceutical and Organic Chemistry at CEU university.
