Gloria Alzueta Piña

Gloria Alzueta Piña is a Professor in the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences, University of Valencia. Her academic and research work is centered on bioinorganic and coordination chemistry with pharmaceutical applications.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of inorganic chemistry and biological systems. She specializes in the design and study of metal complexes, particularly those involving carbonic anhydrase inhibitors such as acetazolamide. Her work extends into asymmetric synthesis and the development of chemical nucleases through coordination compounds, as reflected in her involvement with the CARMASA and NQCC research groups.

Gloria Alzueta Piña earned her PhD from the Universitat de València in 1992 with a thesis titled Complejos metálicos de la acetazolamida y metazolamida, potentes inhibidores de la anhidrasa carbónica, supervised by Dr. Joaquín Borrás Tortonda.

Her scientific contributions are primarily focused on the development of metal-based therapeutic agents and catalytic systems. Although no specific publications are listed in the current data, her research trajectory suggests a strong emphasis on the medicinal and catalytic applications of coordination compounds.

She is actively involved in research through her participation in the CARMASA Asymmetric Synthesis Group and the NQCC Chemical Nucleases based on Coordination Compounds group, where she contributes to advancing knowledge in chiral synthesis and DNA-targeting inorganic complexes.
