Begoña Verdejo Viu was born in Valencia (Spain) in 1978. In 2002, she received her Chemistry Degree from the University of Valencia and started her PhD with a "Carmen y Severo Ochoa" Grant from Excmo. Ayto. de Valencia, under the supervision of Prof. E. García-España, centered in the design, synthesis, and coordination chemistry of new polyazareceptors as enzyme mimics, obtaining her PhD degree in March of 2007. Over the next two years (2007–2009), she was a Post-Doctoral Researcher (Beatriu de Pinós program) with Prof. P. Ballester at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ), working on the development of water-soluble calix[4]pyrroles. She returned to the University of Valencia with a Juan de La Cierva Fellowship, and currently, she works as Associate Professor. Her research interests center on the design, synthesis, and supramolecular chemistry of polyamine receptors, with a particular interest in their interaction with metal ions and anions, the recognition of species of biomedical interest, and enzyme mimicking.
