I am a Pharmaceutical Chemist and currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. My research focuses on the synthesis of organic molecules containing boronic acids with potential antibacterial activity, as well as the development and validation of advanced analytical methods for stability studies and structural characterization.
I earned my PhD in Organic Chemistry at the University of the Republic (Uruguay), where I developed new synthetic methodologies for bioactive thiols, integrating skills in organic chemistry, biocatalysis, and molecular biology. My experience also includes the expression and characterization of enzymes in recombinant strains, resolution of racemic mixtures, and evaluation of biological activity through Ki, IC₅₀, and MIC assays.
Prior to my PhD, I worked as a Quality Control Assistant in the pharmaceutical industry, gaining experience with analytical techniques such as HPLC, GC, NMR, and HRMS, and acquiring a solid understanding of GMP/GLP standards.
Thanks to my multidisciplinary training and international experience, I combine expertise in organic synthesis, chemical analysis, and applied microbiology to support the development of new bioactive molecules. I am trilingual (Spanish, Italian, English) and possess strong communication skills in international scientific contexts.
