    I developed my PhD thesis at the Universidad de La Rioja, studying olefin metathesis reactions. Afterwards I have obtained a wide postdoctoral experience in the groups of Prof. Alcarazo (Max Planck Institut fur Kohlenforschung), Prof. Echavarren (ICIQ) and Prof. P. Pérez (University of Huelva) developing projects of catalysis, synthesis of natural products and functionalization of C-H bonds. The results of my research are collected in more than twenty publications, most of them in high impact journals (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (5), J. Am. Chem. Soc. (2), Chem. Eur. J. (2), Org. Lett (2)).
    In 2018 I joined the Universidad de Alcalá and my lines of research are focused on organometallic catalysis and synthesis of organoboron and organofluorinated compounds.

Doctor from the University of Oviedo, with extensive postdoctoral experience in the field of organic synthesis and catalysis. In 2014 she joined the University of Alcalá as a “Ramón y Cajal” researcher and since 2019 she is associate professor at the same university. Her current interests focus on the synthesis and applications of azaborine, the development of new synthetic methodologies based on electrophilic cyclizations of alkynes, and the preparation and evaluation of molecules of interest in medicinal chemistry. During his scientific career he has participated in more than 20 research projects obtained in competitive calls, being PI in several of them, including 3 of national character. His research work has resulted in more than 50 scientific publications and 5 patents. In addition, he has co-directed three doctoral theses and is currently co-directing another 3.
