Ona Illa Soler

Ona Illa Soler is a Researcher in the Department of Chemistry at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). She holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry (2005) and a Master's in Chemistry (2000), both from UAB. She conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Bristol (2006-2008) and Université Toulouse III (2006). Her research focuses on synthetic organic chemistry, drug delivery systems, and functional materials for biomedical applications.

• Key Projects: Leads projects on therapeutic agents for degenerative diseases, targeted drug delivery, and catalytic systems.
• Labs: Part of the Cathecol-based nanostructured functional materials (CATNANOFUN) research group.

Her work integrates organic synthesis with materials science, emphasizing chiral compounds, cycloaddition reactions, and mitochondrial targeting. Over 60 publications (h-index 19) demonstrate contributions to antiviral agents, nanoparticle drug carriers, and supramolecular systems.
