Microalgae and One Health

Antonio Leyva-Pérez earned his Chemistry degree from the Universitat de València (UV) Spain, then completed a Ph.D. in heterogeneous catalysis under Prof. Hermenegildo García at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), Spain. He briefly worked in organometallics at M.I.T. with Prof. Steven L. Buchwald, followed by postdoctoral research at Cambridge under Prof. Steven Ley. In 2008, he joined ITQ to work with Prof. Avelino Corma, later earning a Ramón y Cajal contract (2014), a Distinguished Research position (2016), and tenure (2019). He then founded his own group, "Catalysis For Sustainable Organic Reactions," at CSIC, becoming Research Scientist in 2023. He holds several national research grants and leads industry-funded contracts with international companies.
