Carlos González

Madrid, Spain

Carlos González is a Research Professor at CSIC since 2009, leading the Nucleic Acids NMR group at the Blas Cabrera Institute of Physical Chemistry.Carlos earned his Bachelor’s degree in Physics at UAM. He then joined the research group of Professor Manuel Rico at the Institute of Structure of Matter, where he pursued his PhD studies under the supervision of Prof. Jorge Santoro, focusing on computational methods for determining protein structures from NMR data. During his postdoctoral period in the lab of Professor Thomas L. James at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), he developed an interest in the structure of nucleic acids, a research theme that has continued throughout his scientific career. At present, his main research interests include non-canonical DNA structures, chemically modified nucleic acids, and molecular recognition processes involving nucleic acids. His group has contributed to these research areas with more than 150 peer-reviewed publications.

Roberto R. Gil

Pittsburg, United States

Roberto R. Gil was born in Catamarca, Argentina in 1961. He received the degrees of BS/MS in Organic Chemistry (1983) and Ph.D. in Natural Products Chemistry (1989) from the University of Córdoba (UNC), Córdoba, Argentina. Spent a 3-year postdoctoral stay at the College of Pharmacy, UIC, Chicago, IL (1992-1995) with G.A. Cordell and A. D. Kinghorn. In 1995, he returned to the University of Córdoba as Assistant Professor and member of the CONICET research track. In 2000 spent a one-year Visiting Professor stay at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) working in Protein NMR with Miguel Llinás. In 2001 he returned to UNC for a brief period as Associate Professor and Associate Dean for Science and Technology Affairs of the UNC College of Chemistry. In 2002, he moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he currently holds the position of Research Professor and Director of the NMR Center of the Department of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University. His research interest is aimed at the development and application of NMR methodologies to the analysis of small molecules in general. Since 2008 he has been strongly involved in the development of new methodologies for the structural analysis of small molecules using a combination of isotropic and anisotropic NMR parameters together with computational methods. He has developed together with Prof. Armando Navarro-Vazquez the unique computational method «Computer Assisted 3D Structure Elucidation» (CASE-3D). In 2012 he was the Program Chair of SMASH-NMR, the NMR conference for small molecules, and he is currently emeritus member of the SMASH organizing committee. In 2012 he also edited a special supplementary issue for the journal Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry (MRC) on “NMR of Small Molecules in Anisotropic Media”. From November 2013 to August 2016 he served as Features Editor of MRC. As of September 1st, 2016, he is Co-Editor in Chief of MRC together with Prof. Gary E. Martin. As of 2020, he has been serving as a member of the BMRB (Biological Magnetic Resonance Data Bank) Advisory Board. He has over 100 presentations to meetings, co-author in seven book chapters, one entry for the Encyclopedia of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry, and 134 articles in peer-reviewed journals.

Marcos de Oliveira Junior

Sao Paulo, Brazil

Currently an assistant professor at University of Sao Paulo (USP), Brazil. Concluded his PhD at applied physics in 2014 at USP. From 2014 to 2018 has worked as a postdoc researcher in the same university, with an internship at ETH Zürich, Switzerland. From March 2018 to October 2019 worked at TU Darmstadt, Germany, as postdoc researcher. Has experience in the structural characterization of amorphous compounds, such as glasses and glass-ceramics and inorganic-organic hybrid materials, using mainly solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and pulsed Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopy.
