María Teresa Herrero graduated with BSc degree from the University of the Basque Country in 1998. In 2002, she obtained her PhD degree in Organic Chemistry from the same university, working on hypervalent iodine-mediated oxidative processes under the supervision of Professors E. Domínguez and I. Tellitu. She then joined the group of Prof. Isaa Katime at the Physical Chemistry Department as a Postdoctoral Fellow investigating the functionalization of pH-sensitive polymeric nanoparticles for antitumor therapy. In 2004, she became Assistant Lecturer, and in 2010 was appointed Senior Lecturer. Her current research focuses on metal-catalyzed synthesis of heterocycles.
On the other hand, from 2004 Dr. Herrero has taught organic chemistry in different degrees (Degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology) as well as in the Master of Synthetic and Industrial Chemistry (UPV / EHU). Some of the courses taught are: Basic Laboratory Operations, Experimentation in Organic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry II, Organic Synthesis in Biosciences, High Resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Determination of Organic Structures...
With regard to academic management, she has worked in several improvement groups at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the UPV / EHU and, from 2012 to 2015, she participated in the Quality Committee of the Faculty as coordinator of the Degree in Chemistry.
