Conferencia CICA de Eugenio Vázquez Sentís

CI graduated in Chemistry from the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela in 1996 and worked on  my PhD from 1996 to 2001 under the supervision of Prof. José Luis Mascareñas. In 2001 I received  the HFSP long-term fellowship and joined the group of Prof. Barbara Imperiali at the Massachusetts  Institute of Technology, where I worked from 2001 to 2004 on the development of photoactivatable compounds and fluorescent probes as tools to understand complex phosphorylation pathways. I returned  to Santiago with a Ramón y Cajal contract in 2004 and 2010 I became an Associate Professor. Since 2011 I am a member of CiQUS and, in October 2023 I became Full Professor at the Organic Chemistry  Department. My research aims to explore fundamental problems at the interface of Chemistry and Biology  through a multidisciplinary approach combining chemical synthesis, peptide/protein engineering, biophysics, and computational chemistry.
