Carmen Rosales Martinez
PhD candidate 2023-2026
Carmen Rosales Martínez is currently a PhD candidate under Dr Isabel Abánades Lázaro supervision at the Institute of Molecular Science of the University of Valencia. She is studying the growth of multivariate modulated Metal-Organic Frameworks.
Carmen graduated in Pharmacy from the University of Granada in July 2023. During her degree, Carmen did a research internship with Prof. Juan Niclós-Gutiérrez laboratory, where she later developed her bachelor’s thesis entitled “Molecular recognition between the chelate copper(II)-thiodiacetate and a synthetic nucleoside adenine derivative” which resulted on a published paper on Molecules as a first author (doi.org/10.3390/molecules28155830). She also undertook a research stay at the Laboratory of Crystallographic Studies (LEC) IACT-CSIC to develop new skills such as solving crystalline structures under the supervision of Duane Choquesillo-Lazarte (3 months in 2023) and she participated in three different conferences, including two oral communications at an international congress (ISMEC 2022 and ISMEC 2023) and a poster communication at a national congress (BioGranada 2023). She also joined the MOF summer school.
We are so happy to have you in the group!!
