ABOUT ME
Carlota Mur earned her PhD from the University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR) in 2025 within the PhD Programme in Chemical Engineering and Environmental Technologies. Her doctoral thesis, titled “CO₂ as a raw material for the production of high-value inorganic materials”, focused on optimizing the production process of precipitated silica and amorphous aluminium hydroxide via the utilization of CO₂. This research was carried out within the framework of the CIMZATE project: “Use of CO₂ for the production of high-performance inorganic compounds and zeolite-assisted conversion to e-fuels” (Ref. PLEC2022-009239), in collaboration with Industrias Químicas del Ebro (IQE).
She graduated in Chemistry from the University of Zaragoza in 2020 and obtained her Master’s degree in Industrial Chemistry in 2021, also from the University of Zaragoza. During her studies, she completed an Erasmus at KU Leuven in Belgium for a duration of 6 months, where she worked on her Erasmus dissertation titled “Pd-Catalyzed C-H/C-H coupling of indole (hetero)arenes with molecular oxygen.”
Later in her Master’s program, she secured a position at the Chemical Industries of the Ebro (IQE) chair, which allowed her to conduct her Master’s thesis work at their facilities. Her research focused on the “Characterization of the nanometric properties of an amorphous aluminum and sodium silicate: development of the OECD 318 protocol.” After completing her academic training, she worked for two years at IQE as a quality technician to beginning her doctoral research.

abstract = {Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive lethal malignancy that accounts for more than 90% of pancreatic cancer diagnoses. Our research is focused on the physico-chemical properties of the tumour microenvironment (TME), including its tumoural extracellular matrix (tECM), as they may have an important impact on the success of cancer therapies. PDAC xenografts and their decellularized tECM offer a great material source for research in terms of biomimicry with the original human tumour. Our aim was to evaluate and quantify the physico-chemical properties of the PDAC TME. Both cellularized (native TME) and decellularized (tECM) patient-derived PDAC xenografts were analyzed. A factorial design of experiments identified an optimal combination of factors for effective xenograft decellularization. Our results provide a complete advance in our understanding of the PDAC TME and its corresponding stroma, showing that it presents an interconnected porous architecture with very low permeability and small pores due to the contractility of the cellular components. This fact provides a potential therapeutic strategy based on the therapeutic agent size.},
