Professor | University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) | Spain
Professor Rosa M. Alonso is an accomplished analytical chemist at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), where she has served as a faculty member and has led the FARMARTEM research group. Under her leadership, FARMARTEM has been recognized as a consolidated research group by both UPV/EHU and the Basque Government, and forms part of the multidisciplinary Teaching and Research Unit (UFI 11/23) “New Technologies in Chemistry and Pharmacology Applied to Health.” Her research is dedicated to the development of advanced analytical methodologies across metabolomics, pharmaceutical analysis, environmental chemistry, and the conservation and dating of cultural heritage materials. Her group specializes in separation science, with particular emphasis on liquid and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, complemented by innovative sample preparation procedures tailored for complex matrices such as biological fluids, environmental samples, and historical documents. Professor Alonso has authored 190 scientific articles, more than half in top-quartile journals within analytical chemistry, and has delivered 190 conference presentations, including invited lectures. She has participated in 59 competitive research projects, leading 40 of them, alongside numerous industry collaborations and equipment acquisition initiatives. Professor Alonso also contributes extensively to the scientific community as a reviewer, member of the advisory boards of Current Chromatography and Separations, and evaluator for ANEP. Her excellence in teaching is evidenced by outstanding DOCENTIAZ evaluations and long-standing contributions to undergraduate, postgraduate, and international mobility programs.
