Short Bio

Herraiz has a PhD in Chemistry (Biochemistry), from the Complutense University of Madrid. After a period of work at the University of California, Davis, he obtained a position as Scientist at the CSIC, and later as a Scientific Researcher (CSIC). His research work is dedicated to study of bioactive compounds and their molecular biotransformation into new bioactive and /or toxic species. He has contributed numerous publications and original works on beta-carbolines in foods and plants, their formation and biological activity as well as on the metabolism by oxidoreductase enzymes. TH is author of about 100 scientific publications, with h index (google-scholar) of 33, and a reviewer of more than 45 different scientific journals of several research areas, and also a reviewer of national and foreign research funding agencies.
