#### **Elena Obrador**

Honors degree in pharmacy and awarded with the First National Prize for University Studies (1994). Cum laude Ph.D. in physiology and Extraordinary Doctorate Award (1998). Full Professor of Physiology and Director of the Cell Pathophysiology Unit (UFC) at the University of Valencia. Professor in the master's degree of physiology (UV) and the master's degree of biomedical engineering (UV-UPV). My research work is focused on the development of strategies to selectively decrease the antioxidant defense against metastatic cancer cells in order to sensitize them to the antitumor effects of chemo- or radiotherapy. Some key milestones reached are: selective GSH depletion in cancer models in vivo, as well as the development of the molecular bases of therapeutic strategies that increase the efficacy of cancer treatments and eliminate melanoma metastases. Our group also works on the potential benefits of natural polyphenols in radioprotection, cancer and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) treatment, and has filed 5 international patents. To date, I have published 58 scientific papers in international journals of the JCR ranking (ORCID 0000-0002-5934-5543) and several book chapters. Recently, we have set up a startup company (Scientia Biotech) to develop clinical applications of non-ionizing radiations in Oncotherapy.

Bachelor in Biological Sciences by the University of Valencia (UV, 2001), cum laude Ph.D. and Extraordinary Doctorate Award by the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV, 2006). Master's degree in occupational hazard prevention, specialized in hygiene (2002) and security and in epidemiology and public health (2022). I am supervisor for Radioactive Facilities and Head of the Biodosimetry Laboratory in the Radiation Protection Service (RPS), University and Polytechnic La Fe Hospital, Valencia (Spain). My research work is focused on radiobiology, biodosimetry, radioprotectors and radiomitigators, radiosensitivity and nuclear/radiological emergencies. Some key milestones reached include the automation of biodosimetry techniques, with support from FEDER EU funding and the Valencian Government. To date, I have published 48 scientific papers in international journals of JCR ranking (ORCID 0000-0003-1662-1592) and have filed one international patent. Professor of radiobiology courses for the master's degree in radiation protection (UPV) and courses of medical countermeasures in the master's degree in personalized and community nutrition (UV). I am involved in international networks RENEB, REMPAN, BioDoseNet and EURAMED.
