Dr. M. Carmen González-García

 

I obtained my Degree in Pharmacy at University of Granada in September 2017 obtaining the prize of “Best Degree Thesis of the Faculty of Pharmacy” for the work “Photophysical study of new fluorescent probes”. Then, I started my PhD Thesis (supervised by Dr. Emilio García Fernández and Prof. Angel Orte) in “Photochemistry and Photobiology” research group with a FPI fellowship of Spanish Ministry of Science in the project “TG-DIAG: Novel diagnostic tools based on time-gated fluorescence” allowing me to acquire expertise in different techniques of advanced fluorescence microscopy as FLIM, PLIM or STED and time-resolved spectroscopy as well as in synthesis of plasmonic nanoparticles for biomedical applications. During my PhD studies I did research stays at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysical Chemistry (Göttingen, Germany), Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) (Barcelona, Spain) and the company Optoi Srl. (Trento, Italy). I finished my PhD Thesis in 2022 obtaining the prize of “Best PhD Thesis in Analytic Spectroscopy” granted by Sociedad de Espectroscopia Aplicada (SEA) and the prize “Dr. Modesto Laza Palacios for the Best PhD Thesis in 2022” granted by Ilustre Colegio Oficial de Farmacéuticos de Málaga.

From November 2022 to February 2024 I worked as postdoctoral researcher in the group nanoFRET supervised by Prof. Niko Hildebrandt in the University of Rouen Normandie (France) funded since November 2023 by a Marie Curie grant (Winning Normandy fellowship), focused on miRNAs detection based on time-gated FRET.  Currently, I am working as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of  Prof. Cristina Flors in IMDEA Nanociencia developing microscopy tools to study the interaction between bacteria and nanomaterials.
