Rosa Pedrido graduated in Chemistry at the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (USC) in 1997. She completed her Ph.D. and European Ph.D. in 2002 at the same University. In the period of 2005-2007, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Warwick, UK. She has been a member of the research group in Supramolecular and Bioinorganic Chemistry (SupraBioIn) at USC since 1997. In 2002 she received a grant from the electrical company Unión Fenosa and later from the Dirección Xeral de Investigación of Xunta de Galicia and became manager of research projects for universities, R&D centers, and industry. In 2005, she reincorporated into USC as the “Isidro Parga Pondal” researcher and, after passing the pertinent evaluation, she obtained her permanent position as Associate Professor (Profesora Titular de Universidad) at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry of the USC in 2011. Her research is focused on the study of self-assembly processes that lead to metallosupramolecular functional helicases, with potential applications in Biomedicine, Nanotechnology, and Catalysis. She also works in the development of manganese and copper catalysts for processes of industrial relevance.
