Read our interview with Verónica here

Dr Verónica Mora Sanz holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Zaragoza (2015) and a master’s degree in nanostructured materials for nanotechnological applications from the same university (2016). Between 2016 and 2017, she worked as a junior researcher at the Institute of Nanoscience of Aragon (INA). In 2017, she began her PhD in applied chemistry and polymeric materials at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), under the supervision of Dr Valery Pavlov (CIC biomaGUNE) and Dr Nerea Briz (Tecnalia), obtaining the highest distinction, “summa cum laude”. Her doctoral research focused on the preparation of antibody atomic cluster conjugates and their application in bioanalytical assays. From this work, she obtained a patent, titled “Nanoclusters-antibodies conjugates and uses thereof”, as well as two first-author scientific publications. In 2020, she joined the Biomaterials Area of the Health Division at Tecnalia (San Sebastián), where she focused her research on the development of bioanalytical assays, including enzymatic reactions and immunoassays, and on the design of novel nanomaterials to enhance assay sensitivity. She also contributed to the development of lab-on-a-chip devices for in vitro diagnostics. In September 2025, she joined CIRCE (Research Centre for Energy Resources and Consumption) in Zaragoza, a technology centre dedicated to energy, sustainability, and digitalization, to begin a new stage in her professional career within the Funding and Technology Transfer Unit, supporting the development of European project proposals.
