Antonia Garcia

Bachelor in Chemistry (Analytical) and bachelor´s theses awarded 1st prize, univ. San Pablo CEU. PhD in Chemistry (2003) with a thesis dissertation: "Capillary electrophoresis for early screening of organic acidurias in newborns" defended with the highest honors. 25 years of teaching and researching experience in univ. San Pablo CEU. Staff since 1997, in 2009 she was promoted to senior lecturer and in 2021 to Full Professor in Analytical Chemistry at univ. San Pablo CEU. 2020/21 Accredited by ANECA as “Researcher A or exceptional” in Biomedicine and by AQU Catalunya as Advanced Researcher (catedrático). 2022 Accredited by ANECa as catedrático. She currently holds in the Area of Analytical Chemistry, within the Pharmacy and Biotechnology degrees. Researcher on chromatography since 1997 with several collaborations with pharmaceutical companies (CINFA, GSK, Alcalá Farma) mainly on developing, validation, and application of analytical methods for active ingredients and their degradation products in pharmaceuticals based on capillary electrophoresis, liquid chromatograph,y and gas chromatography coupled to UV/FID detectors. Strong knowledge of separation mechanisms in chromatography, sample treatment strategies as well as regulatory affairs was achieved. Then, since 2007 she has been working on metabolomics based on mass spectrometry (MS) coupled to high-resolution separation techniques always applied to different biological samples, including plasma, serum, urine, cell, culture media, and multiple tissues from clinical and animal studies. In 2008 she was one of the three co-founders of CEMBIO. She has participated, and lidded projects related to the development of new methodologies for untargeted and targeted metabolomics studies, including targeted chiral analysis of amino acids as well as application of metabolomics to unveil differences among distinct conditions. Since 2013, she is the head of the metabolomic laboratory at CEMBIO and the secretary of one doctorate programs in the CEINDO, CEU International School of Doctorate with 20 students every academic year. Treasurer of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (Madrid Section). Nº of Research Sexennials: 4 (1998-2003; 2004-2009, 2010-2015, 2016-2021). Number of articles in international journals: 90 | h-index (WoS): 38 (2023-03). Seven published book chapters. Diffusion also through communications in conferences, more than 90 communications in national and international scientific symposia.
