Bio

Dr. Adalgisa Batista Parra currently serves as a professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico, where she teaches Organic Chemistry and mentors’ students in both academic and research settings. She has conducted extensive research in the areas of organic synthesis, enzymatic polymer degradation, and the development of DNA-binding heterocyclic compounds. Her work has been published in high-impact journals such as Biochemistry, Nucleic Acids Research, and the Journal of Molecular Biology. In addition to her academic achievements, Dr. Batista has industrial experience in pharmaceutical quality control and process science, including her role as Process Scientist at Bristol-Myers Squibb. Currently, research in her group focuses on the synthesis of Organic Electroactive species to study their electrochemical behavior and the development of new greener laboratory experiments for the undergraduate chemistry curriculum.

Award Lead

Proposal: The Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico will redesign the curriculum for their organic chemistry laboratory courses to integrate green chemistry principles. Curriculum materials will reflect current and emerging trends in green chemistry and sustainable chemistry education. Greener synthetic routes for current laboratory experiments, where the use of safer solvents and reagents will be prioritized. Selected greener synthetic routes will be tested in a pilot group before their implementation throughout the undergraduate laboratory courses. Data will be collected on the amount of chemical waste disposal, the amount of solvent usage, and the financial impacts of implementing safer solvents and reagents; and will be compiled into a comprehensive report shared with the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico’s stakeholders, including faculty, students, and the university administration. Ultimately, the course redesign will enhance student learning experiences and promote green chemistry awareness and knowledge, and sustainable practices across the department.
