Hi, world! My name is Álvaro, and I was born 28 years ago in Menorca (Balearic Islands). I am currently living and working in Barcelona, a vibrant and special city, which is known due to its beautiful weather.

I got the Chemistry degree at the University of Barcelona (UB), and then I carried out a master focused on Research, Development, and Control of Drugs - Pharmaceutical Company.

The first two experiences were at the UB, where I worked at the Organic and Inorganic department, with the aim of synthesizing, purifying, and characterizing different types of structures (i-motifs and supramolecular structures).

Then, I worked as a Lab. Technician at the Scientific Park of Barcelona (PCB). My work was focused on the analysis of different samples (synthesized compounds, cell cultures, proteins, etc), using different analytical techniques (LC/MS/MS, HPLC, and GC for elemental analysis).

One year later, I was hired by a CRO company, Anapharm Bioanalytics, where I worked two and a half years as a Lab. Technician. My main responsibilities were the analysis of pre-clinical and clinical samples through LC/MS/MS.

After that, I decided to finish the last experience because I never had the chance to live abroad. For this reason, I had the chance to move to Kraków (Poland) where I worked at the Jagellonian University as a Research Assistant, with the goal of developing and validating new spectrophotometric UV-vis methods in the field of Medicinal Chemistry.

And finally, I came back to Barcelona after one year, getting hired by an important Pharma company, ALMIRALL, filling the position of R&D Specialist.

I consider myself an outgoing person, very sociable and friendly. I like traveling and photography. But, the most important for me is the sport, specifically football, gym and running!

My first languages are Catalan and Spanish, but also I speak English (an intermediate-high level) and basic knowledge of Polish/German.

My goal in life is to be a researcher and collaborate for an important Pharma company. Please don't hesitate to contact me!
