Marta Torrubiano Balcells

I graduated in Chemical Engineering from IQS-URL, where I completed my Bachelor’s Thesis at CSIC, focusing on the synthesis of chelator-polymeric nanoparticles for imaging applications and theranostics. This experience sparked my passion for research and led me to pursue a Master’s in Molecular Biotechnology, during which I worked in the Cancer and Ageing Mechanisms group in Josep Carreras leukaemia research institute.
Currently, I am excited to be pursuing my PhD in the Drug Discovery & Medicinal Chemistry group. My project combines chemistry and biology to develop innovative drug delivery systems targeting cancer stem cells through the activity of the enzyme ALDH.
Outside the lab, I love participating in creative activities, spending time outdoors, and immersing myself in music. I’m part of a music band where I enjoy performing, rehearsing, and composing new songs. I also have a passion for reading, traveling, and sharing quality moments with friends.
