Prof. Hortensia Rodriguez obtained a B.Sc. in Radiochemistry from the Superior Institute of Science and Nuclear Technology (ISCTN, Cuba) (1991–1996). In 1996, she joined the Laboratory of Organic Synthesis of Faculty of Chemistry, University of Havana (Cuba), and received an M.Sc. in 1999. In 2006, she finished her Ph.D. (“Cum Laude”), focused on developing non-conventional methods for the synthesis of bioactive compounds. Afterward, she served as chair of the Laboratory of Organic Synthesis, as a senior lecturer in the Chemistry Faculty of the University of Havana (2006–2009), and as chair of the Department of Organic Chemistry in the Chemistry Faculty at the same university (2009–2011). Between 2011 and 2014, she worked as a Research Associate in the Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology Program (Prof. Albericio group) at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine, Barcelona, Spain. Her research covers a broad range of topics in synthetic chemistry and nano bioscience. She has directed, co-directed, and participated in several research projects within her field of expertise, and has advised on theses, masters, and doctorates. In August of 2014, Professor Rodriguez moved to Ecuador and joined the Yachay Tech Project as Chemistry Lecturer. From July of 2017 until June 2020, she was the Dean of the School of Chemical Sciences and Engineering of the Yachay Tech University. Ecuador.
