I started my scientific career as a bachelor's degree student after obtaining a scholarship financed by the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) in the research group of Chemical Sensors and Biosensors group at the UAM. Since then, I have carried out continuous research in this group. In 2005 I received a FPU scholarship to try out my phD thesis Biosensores selectivos de ADN basados en un nuevo indicador electroquímico y nanopartículas de oro. The results obtained during my doctoral thesis represented a great advance in the generation of knowledge related to the development of new DNA biosensors based on nanomaterials for mutations detection of. That is why the company DIGNA-Biotech was interested in these results and thanks to this, after finishing my phD, I was hired by them to continue my research in the DNA biosensors, financed by a contract stated in article 83 of the Organic Law of Universities. As a result of these investigations 2 patents emerged. Specifically, the patent that fundamentally constitutes the research of my thesis, was licensed and exploited by this company. Moreover, in 2010, that patent was awarded with the best patent prize by the Foundation madri+d in its eighth edition. In 2011, I obtained a postdoctoral scholarship of the Caja Madrid Foundation to research at Liverpool University, in the nanochemistry group, led by Professor Mathias Brust. During this stay I began a new line of research focused on the preparation of new nanomaterials and their biological applications. Then, I was hired by the UAM as assistant professor and since then I have been responsible of the research line focused on the development of DNA biosensors, aptasensors based on new nanomaterials and DNA nanostructures in the group of Chemical Sensors and Biosensors. During these years I have collaborated with different international (Cornell University/University of Rome Tor Vergata) or national (ICMAB, IMDEA, CIMA) research groups and hospitals (La Paz or Ramon y Cajal hospitals). At present, I am Profesora Titular in the Analytical Chemistry Department at the UAM being principal investigator (PI) of a research project of the AEI (PID2020-116728RB-I00) and also PI of a contract with the company ADEVNTIAPHARAMA. Last year, as PI, I obtained a grant funded by the European Union in the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan to hire a young researcher in the Investigo programme. Furthermore, recently I have received a research assistant contract within the youth guarantee program of the community of Madrid co-financed by the EU in the 2023 call (ayuda SAL-GL-27555). In summary, since my incorporation to the Chemical Sensors and biosensors group at the UAM in 2003, I have published 45 research articles in journals indexed in the JCR, 40 of them in the first quartile (Q1) and 40% of them in the first decile (D1) of the Analytical Chemistry area. These articles have received more than 994 citations (at Scopus citation Overview, date 19/01/24). From these publications, 31 have been published in the last 10 years and I am the first author in 18 of them and corresponding author (CA) in the last 12 articles published. Taking these data into account, the web of science (Scopus) calculates an H index of 18. Regarding research projects, I have participated as PI in 4 research projects and in 17 as the research team financed by different entities (National Plan, Community of Madrid, UAM-Banco Santander, European commission). Furthermore, I have also participated in 6 contracts with companies, being PI in one of them.  Moreover, I am a member of the Institute for Advanced Research in Chemical Sciences at UAM (IAdChem) and the network Sensores y Biosensores Electroquímicos (RED2022-134120-T). The research work carried out during these years has been disclosed in 70 contributions to national and international congresses. Of all, 32 have been oral contributions, 2 invited conferences and one keynote. I have also participated as a member of the organizing and scientific committee of III Workshop ELECTROBIONET 2022 and II IAdChem WORKSHOP-1Day. Materials for biosensing and bioimaging. Regarding my training capacity, I have directed 11 End-of-Degree Projects, 4 End-of-Master Project and currently I am directing three doctoral thesis one of them financed by the FPU program of the Spanish Ministry. During these years, my research has been recognized with 3 six-year research terms. Along with my research work, I have tried to give visibility to the lines of research in which I work coordinating and participating in different scientific dissemination activities (la noche de los investigadores, Researchers at Schools, publications in newspapers such as La Razon or La Gazette). I am also evaluator of scientific journals in the area of Analytical Chemistry and evaluator of projects of the AEI and the Evaluation and Accreditation of the Andalusian Knowledge Agency (DEVA-AAC).
