Miriam Royo obtained a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Barcelona in 1994. From 1994 to 1996, she performed post-doctoral training at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center-Harvard Medical School on the Division of Bones and Mineral Metabolism (Boston, USA). From 1997 to 2001, she performed a second post-doctoral training at the University of Barcelona (Spain). During this period, her work focused on the synthesis and biological applications of peptide dendrimers, the development of new methods for combinatorial chemistry and the synthesis and structural elucidation of natural depsipeptides. From 2002 to 2018, Dr. Royo worked at the Barcelona Science Park as head of the Combinatorial Chemistry Unit (UQC-PCB), where she initiated her independent research career. From this moment, her research focused on the development of new chemical tools with potential therapeutic application. In 2007, she became member of the CIBER BBN, initiating a strong collaborative network, mainly focused in the nanomedicine area. Since July 2018, she has been a scientific researcher at the Institute for Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia (IQAC-CSIC). Her actual research interests are to obtain a proof of concept of the versatility and applicability of diverse multivalent chemical tools developed by her group and study their application as therapeutic /pharmacological platforms on diseases, such as cancer, neurological and rare diseases.
