After finish the chemistry degree (University of the Basque Country) in September of 1996, I
started my PhD at the Department of Organic Chemistry I of the same University under the
supervision of Prof. Claudio Palomo and Prof. Juan Miguel Oiarbide. My thesis work consisted
in the stereoselective synthesis of a novel class of sugar peptide hybrids through a acetate-
Mannich reaction as a key strategic step and in a “b-lactam based seteroselective access to
a,g-dihydroxy a -amino acid-derived using the Sharpless AD reaction”, respectively. I finished
the PhD in 2002 with the maximum qualification and then, I performed postdoctoral research
first at the Institute of Nanotechnology in Karlsruhe (2002-2004 under the guidance of Prof.
Mario Ruben) working in “Charge Transport Through single conjugate molecules”, and second
at the University of Aarhus (2004-2006 under the guidance of Prof. Karl Anker Jorgensen)
working in asymmetric “organocatalytic reactions”. At the end of 2006, I was awarded with a
Ramon y Cajal contract (2006-2011) at the University of the Basque Country (Department of
Organic Chemistry I). Afterwards, I obtained a permanent position as a Research Assistant
