Department: Department of Metabolism and Nutrition

Short Bio

Raquel Mateos Briz, a Tenured Scientist at CSIC since 2009 and Associate Professor at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), holds a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry (University of Salamanca, 1995), a PhD in Chemistry (University of Seville, 2002), and a Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology (UNED, 2022). As head of the research group ‘Phytochemicals, Nutrition, and Health (PHYTOCHEMICALS)’, she conducts basic and applied research to understand the beneficial health properties of bioactive compounds in the diet. Her primary research focus is Nutrition for Integral Health. Through comprehensive characterization of phytochemicals in foods, plant extracts, and nutraceuticals, she evaluates their bioavailability and mechanisms of action by basic and applied studies, both in vitro/ex vivo (cell lines) and human intervention studies. She combines her research activity with scientific outreach through projects such as Ciudad Ciencia, Ciencia en el Barrio and the one she currently leads, ‘SuperEscolares Sanos y Científicos (www.superescolares.es)’.
