Her research focused on the asymmetric synthesis of heterocycles and their applications in natural product synthesis. During her PhD studies, she also did two research stays in the UK at Imperial College London and at the University of Cambridge.
Marta was awarded a Marie-Curie Intra-European Research Fellowship to undertake postdoctoral research at the University of Oxford (UK), where she developed new bifunctional superbase organocatalysts for enantioselective synthesis. Marta´s research has been extensively published, including papers in prestigious peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Before joining the patent profession, she gained valuable industry insight while working for the Gadea Pharmaceutical Group (Spain). She also worked in R&D management as a European Grants officer at a Spanish Regional Development Agency, where she gained experience in EU-funded research projects and helped creating international consortia within R&D European programs.
