Academic Translation

I am a specialist in Mass Spectrometry, a discipline I apply across various research fields. My primary line of research is framed within Chemical Biology, where I conduct experiments in complex biological matrices to evaluate the metabolism of microorganisms with potential for the industrial production of high-economic-value compounds.

Furthermore, in my capacity as an expert in this analytical technique, I have collaborated on multiple research areas requiring this expertise, such as:

  • The quantification of pharmaceuticals in environmental samples and remediation processes.

  • The phytochemical characterization of plant extracts.

  • The analysis of pesticides and their metabolites in environmental matrices.

Area of expertise

Mass Spectrometry for advanced chemical and biological analysis. 
Chemical Biology, particularly the study of microbial metabolism for the industrial production of high-value compounds.
Metabolomics and Proteomics, including the identification and quantification of intracellular metabolites, peptides, and proteins. 
Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA), especially in microorganisms and microalgae.
Phytochemical characterization of plant extracts and natural products.
Environmental analytical chemistry, including the quantification of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and their metabolites in environmental samples.
Bioprocess optimization through the application of mass spectrometry and systems biology approaches
