Víctor Sánchez Pedregal

Graduate in Chemistry at the University of Oviedo (1992, Special Graduate Award). Ph.D. from the same university, under the supervision of prof. Vicente Gotor and Francisca Rebolledo (1997), working on the application of biocatalysis to organic chemistry. After working a few years for the industry (1998-2002), I moved to the Max Planck Institute (MPI-BPC Göttingen, 2002) with a Marie Curie Fellowship, to work on the NMR-based structural determination of proteins and RNA (NMR, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance).

In 2005, I joined the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) holding a Fellowship from the program Ramón y Cajal. In 2010 I was appointed Profesor Titular (Associate Professor) at the USC. My current research focuses on the application of NMR to address structural questions at the interface between chemistry and biology, comprising the analysis of small molecules (e.g. with residual dipolar couplings, RDC) as well as the study of ligand/receptor interactions with large biomolecules.
