She obtained her BSc (Hons) in Biochemistry from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona in 2015. She then moved to Edinburgh where she did a MSc in Drug Design and Biomedical Sciences at Edinburgh Napier University, where she worked on the development of optical probes targeting the cancer overexpressed protease legumain for imaging applications. Following a short period working in industry as a pharmacokineticist for preclinical testing of drugs, she conducted her PhD studies in Professor Mark Bradley group at the University of Edinburgh working on the synthesis of fluorogenic peptide-based probes for imaging inflammation-related proteases. Maria joined the Ciulli group in January 2023 as a postdoctoral scientist working on the development of the next generation tag-based dregon system \u201cBromoTag\u201d with support from Tocris \/ Bio-Techne. Outside the lab, she likes to spend time in the mountains, mostly cycling or hiking\/running. When indoors, she enjoys reading or watching a good movie.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Degree(s) BSc Hons Biochemistry \u2013 Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona -2015 MSc Drug Design and biomedical Sciences \u2013 Edinburgh Napier University \u2013 2017 PhD in Chemistry, University of Edinburgh \u2013 2023 Staff email MRodriguezrios001@dundee.ac.uk Profile Maria was born in Galicia, Spain.
