Short biography
Beatriz obtained her PhD in chemistry (UAB), conducting part of her doctoral research on biosensors at AgResearch (New Zealand) and at the University of Ioannina (Greece). She conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Perpignan (UPVD) (2005–07), with stays at LISE (CNRS) and at the International Center of Biodynamics (Romania). In 2007, she joined the Tokyo University of Technology as Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Fellow. In 2009, she returned to the UPVD and then joined IBEC as Juan de la Cierva Fellow. In 2012, she moved to the University of South Australia where she won a Senior Research Fellowship. After four years, she joined Monash University as Senior Research Fellow. In 2018 she joined the URV as Ramón y Cajal Fellow, becoming ICREA Research Professor in 2020. In 2023 she joined ICIQ as group leader of the Bioinspired Nanotechnologies lab, funded by the AGAUR (2021 SGR 00223), which aims at engineering advanced materials for biosensing applications.
