María I. Tapia (Bilbao, España) es licenciada en biología y doctora en Bioquímica y Biología Molecular (Premio Extraordinario de Doctorado). Su formación científica en los aspectos básicos de la vida continuó con una formación posdoctoral en biotecnología en el Institut Pasteur (París), donde completó sus habilidades profesionales. Ha desarrollado su carrera profesional durante más de quince años en el sector farmacéutico y agroalimentario, principalmente en las siguientes áreas: regulación del metabolismo, desarrollo de nuevas vacunas, alimentos funcionales, mejora de la calidad de la fruta, detección y control de contaminantes químicos y microbiológicos en productos alimenticios, calidad del agua… En 2016, hubo un punto de inflexión decisivo en su carrera: se involucró profundamente en la escritura de libros de divulgación científica relacionados con la nutrición y la salud.
