Participation in the YRChem2025
June 16, 2025
Last week, our PhD student Víctor Navarro Esteve presented the oral communication "Optimization of diabetic kidney disease diagnosis through the in silico infrared spectrum of urine" in the 5th Workshop for Young Researchers in Chemistry
We’re excited to share our recently published work: Towards a global model for Diabetic kidney disease screening using ATR-FTIR
June 06, 2025
This study aims to assess the ability of a FTIR methodology to establish DKD diagnostic models applicable across diverse populations, instruments and experimental conditions worldwide. Results evidence that the spectral markers found in the IR spectra, based on signals arising from albumin and other glycoproteins, have proven to be robust, minimizing the effects of population and instrument variability. doi
International reference guide on oxilipins, fatty acid oxidation products that regulate key physiological processes
May 20, 2025
A research team from 70 institutions, led by Cardiff University (United Kingdom) and the University of Wuppertal (Germany), and including Ángel Sánchez Illana from the University of Valencia (UV), has developed a guide of best practice recommendations for the analysis of oxylipins using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The work was published on Tuesday in the journal Science Signaling.

We’re excited to share our latest collaborative work with researchers from IIS La Fe, recently published in the Microchemical Journal:
May 20, 2025
This study presents an automated, data-driven workflow for exploring drug metabolism in Upcyte human hepatocytes, focusing on α-pyrrolidinoisohexiophenone (a synthetic cathinone). Our approach reveals metabolic differences that may be linked to individual-specific profiles—highlighting the potential of combining high-content metabolomics with automated analysis to better understand inter-individual variability in drug metabolism. doi
Participation in the mzmine Community Meeting
May 7, 2025
Dr. Ángel Sánchez Illana delivered a community talk at the mzmine Community Meeting, held at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry (IOCB) in Prague. This international event brought together mzmine developers, experienced users, and newcomers to exchange knowledge, explore new features, and foster collaborative development of the open-source platform.
In his talk, titled "mzmine Meets LluisVives HPC: Untargeted Oxylipin Profiling in 491 Human Urine Samples", Ángel shared insights from our group's integration of high-performance computing (HPC) with mzmine for large-scale untargeted metabolomics, highlighting computational strategies and challenges encountered when processing hundreds of LC-MS datasets.
The new Spectrometer Alpha II from Bruker has arrived
October 16, 2024
We're excited to announce the arrival of our newest instrument, the Alpha II Spectrometer from Bruker, a compact FT-IR spectrometer with a footprint the size of a laptop. We are looking forward to analyse new samples both in an out of the lab!
SPEC2024
June 5, 2024
We had the pleasure to assist to the SPEC 2024 where Víctor presented his poster about the development of a global model fir CKD diagnosis using ATR-FTIR and David Perez Guaita talked about spectroscopy based urine screening in the Data science session.
Visit to the ALBA synchrotron
April 27, 2024
Great experience at the ALBA synchrotron to dig into NPS toxicity in cells using IR light. Thanks heaps to Tanja and the funding from
@AgEInves. Stay tuned for the scoop!
