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
