Short Bio
She obtained her B.S. degree in Pharmacy (1994) from the University Complutense of Madrid (UCM), and her PhD in Pharmacy from the same University (1999). Postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute of Biochemistry, CSIC-UCM, Madrid (2000), and in Germany at the institute of Biochemistry I, University of Cologne (1997-1998). Following, she moved to the former Instituto del Frío (CSIC, nowadays ICTAN) as “Ramón y Cajal” researcher in 2003 and was promoted to Tenured Scientist in 2008. Her research activity in the field of nutritional biochemistry is focused on the study of the molecular mechanisms of action of bioactive food components, mainly phenolic compounds and their metabolites, and their potential effect on health and on the prevention of chronic diseases related to the oxidative stress (cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease). Her expertise includes development of different experimental approaches in cultured cells, experimental animals (pre-clinical studies), and more recently, human clinical trials both in healthy and risk population groups, with special interest on diabetes and its complications.
