Biography
Dr. Gil-Ramírez has two B.Sc. degrees, in Biology and in Food Science and Technology. In July 2015, she defended her PhD in Biology and Food Science at UAM, counting with 2 stays of 3 months each at the Wageningen Research Center (The Netherlands) and the Institute of Chemical and Biochemistry Technology (Czech Republic). From 2016 to 2019, she worked as Post-doctoral Researcher in the Chemistry Department at Lund University (ULUND, Sweden). Firstly, she was supported by Sten K. Johnson Foundation (2016) developing a green methodology for the extraction of immunoreactive components from porcine pulmonary arteries. In 2016, she was granted by The Royal Physiographic Society of Lund (Sweden) (13,000 €) to cover costs associated to the proof-of-concept proposal for the European call she intended to apply. In 2017, she gained a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships (MSCA-IF-2016) with the project Supercritical carbon dioxide for delipidation of soft tissue. Suppressing transplant rejection. This project helped to incorporate the benefits of supercritical fluid technology into the biomedical field. In April 2018, she got The Camurus Lipid Research Foundation Junior Prize because her contributions to mentioned novel application of supercritical fluids related to the lipids research field. This outstanding trajectory allowed her to gain a Juan de la Cierva-Incorporación fellowship in January 2019 (IJC2018-035972-I). Likewise, she was credited by ANECA for Contratado Doctor (2019-6624) in November 2019. Later, she got an Assistant professor position (Profesor Ayudante Doctor) at the Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Food Science (1st November 2019). Since then, she has been researching in the project Novel antioxidant ingredients from coffee and cocoa by-products as a strategy to reprogram cardiometabolic disease through lactation (COCARDIOLAC) (RTI2018-097504-B-100, granted by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness through the call Knowledge Generation R&D Projects and R&D&I Research Challenges Projects 2018). Recently, the host research group got funding for the project titled Eco-sustainable valorization of the COffee PULP through the zero-waste strategy (ECOPULP) (TED2021-129262A-I00) granted by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through the call Ecological and Digital Transition Projects 2021, in which the candidate participates as co-principal investigator (co-PI).
Her scientific career is endorsed by her participation in more than 9 competitive national and international projects, resulting in the publication of 29 original research articles at indexed journals (Q1 and D1 journals) and 1 book chapter. Her scientific-technological results have been transferred to industrial partners through 2 patents. Her contribution to national and international conferences and symposiums is also notable, 3 proceedings, 15 posters and 8 oral presentations. In 2015, she got the prize Best Young Researcher Forum Oral Presentation granted by OMICS group International. From 2012, she has participated in several scientific seminars (i.e., Marie S Curie Individual Fellowship Seminar), industrial innovation and transference projects (i.e., Alter Farmacia SA-Nutribén; Coala S.) and popular science dissemination activities, such as an interview for Horizon: The EU Research and Innovation Magazine on July 2019, (https://n9.cl/jgr64) or The International Student Exhibition and Educational Offer, Science Week and European Researcher´s Night. She was involved in the organization of conferences as a manager of the helper’s team (XIX Euroanalysis 2017 held in Stockholm). Until date, Dr. Gil-Ramírez also has participated in 10 Ph.D. Thesis as examiner boarder member. Currently, she is the topic editor of the special Bio-Accessibility/Availability of Bioactive Compounds from Natural Food Sources (Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049) (https://n9.cl/iv5by) and referee in numerous high-impact scientific indexed journals (Publons identifier- 1338365).
