Laura García Carmona

With a background in Molecular Biology, Laura García Carmona achieved her Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Alcalá in 2019. Her research is focused on the development of portable and wearable electrochemical (bio)-sensors using nanomaterials and microfluidic strategies. During this period, she completed a 6-month predoctoral stay (2017-2018) at the University of California San Diego, in the group of Dr. Joseph Wang. In 2019 she finished her doctoral thesis receiving several recognitions, including the award for the best doctoral thesis by the Royal Spanish Society of Chemistry -territorial section of Madrid- and the award for the best Doctoral Thesis 2019 of the specialized group of Science and Bioanalytical Technologies. She joined the Technological Institute of Energy (ITE) in June of the same year, where she currently works as Head of the Biosensor and Biofuel Cells area, where she and her team work on developing enzymatic biofuel cells and electrochemical biosensors for personal and environmental monitoring.
