Dr. Bedolla initially studied Physics in the Universidad Autonoma del Estado de Morelos in Mexico. Then, after a Master's in Complex Realities at ICTP, she obtained her PhD in Neuroscience at SISSA in Italy. Her publication history is truly interdisciplinary, spanning the disciplines of physical sciences, synchrotron sciences, biomedicine, analytical chemistry, chemometrics, dentistry, plant science, and polymers. Through her extensive international network and her role as a postdoctoral research fellow and synchrotron scientist, she has been at the forefront of the emerging field of biospectroscopy. She has worked in international scientific environments, in collaboration with many leading national and international groups. Her recent postdoctoral research position at Monash University inspired Dr. Bedolla to take her research in the direction of point-of-care diagnostics and led to productive collaborations with the best scientists in the field. Dr. Bedolla's current interest is to be at the forefront of translating spectroscopy into the clinic through her many academic and commercial partners. She has experience working with companies interested in product development in the field of detection and diagnosis using vibrational spectroscopy. By earning the prestigious Marie Sklodowska Curie global fellowship, she is now turning her research into the identification of spectral biomarkers in neurodegenerative diseases in collaboration with Monash University and the ICGEB.
