is a Full professor at the Unit of Medicinal Chemistry in the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences in the University of Barcelona. She received her PhD from this University in 1993. Then, she spent four months stay in the University College of London as Honorary Fellow and two years funded by a Marie Curie Research Training Contract in Kingston University (UK) working in the synthesis of complex molecules with biological interest. In 2003, was awarded with a Ramon y Cajal contract and in 2007 was appointed as associate professor. In 2016 funded by a Salvador de Maradiaga grant she spent three months in the Institute of Cancer Research (UK).

Her present research is aimed to face multidisciplinary projects within chemistry and biology. She is involved in the design and synthesis of organic entities to be used as pharmacological tools for the discovery of molecular mechanisms of action. The team is also developing new chemical entities that face health problems with high social impact. In particular, in unmet medical needs such as cancer (glioblastoma), neuropathic pain and neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer Disease, AD).

Her teaching activities at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences have been related to the subjects Organic Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry.
