Marina studied Chemistry at the University of Sevilla (Spain) where she joined the group of Prof. Ernesto Carmona to work on fundamental organometallic chemistry during her master’s thesis. She continued her PhD studies (FPU fellowship) at the Chemical Research Institute (IIQ, CSIC-US, Sevilla) under the supervision of Prof. Ernesto Carmona and Dr. Jesús Campos, working on dimolybdenum complexes with multiple metal-metal bonds and obtaining the International PhD Distinction (2021) after a visiting stay with Prof. Don T. Tilley (University of Berkeley, California, USA). She continued her postdoctoral studies with a Margarita Salas fellowship at Imperial College London (UK) under the supervision of Prof. Mark Crimmin (2022-2024) working on the synthesis of heterometallic complexes and performing mechanistic analysis through a combined experimental and computational approach. Then, she moved to Princeton (New Jersey, USA) to join the group of Prof. Paul Chirik (2024-2025) where she worked on developing first row transition metal catalysed cross coupling reactions and mechanistic understanding. In 2025, she is starting a tenure-track Assistant Professor career at the University of Geneva
