The researcher from the Institute of Chemical Research, Jesús Angulo, has been elected as the new President of the Specialized Group on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (GERMN), of the Royal Spanish Society of Chemistry (RSEQ).
The purpose of the GERMN is to bring together within the RSEQ specialists in the field of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in order to promote and enhance the development of research and teaching, as well as to facilitate the dissemination of results on a national and international scale. Dr. Jesús Angulo will lead the Group’s board of directors as President of the GERMN for the next four years.
Jesús Angulo studied Chemistry at the University of Seville, earning his doctorate in 2002 with a work on the structure and dynamics of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and molecular dynamics simulations, working at the Institute of Chemical Research (IIQ), a joint University of Seville/CSIC center. In 2003, he moved to Germany to do a three-year postdoctoral stay at the University of Lübeck, with a competitive Marie Curie fellowship to specialize in NMR spectroscopy for protein-ligand interactions. In 2006 he joined again the Carbohydrates Group at IIQ (Seville) as a “Juan de la Cierva” postdoctoral scientist, and from 2008 to 2013 he worked at the “Glycosystems Laboratory” at IIQ as a senior scientist, with a prestigious “Ramón y Cajal” contract, working in NMR and computational chemistry for the study of glycan interactions with relevant receptors in infection processes. In August 2013, he established his research group at the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of East Anglia (Norwich, United Kingdom), starting as a Research Fellow and promoted to Lecturer in August 2016, to Senior Lecturer in August 2017, and to Associate Professor in October 2019. In December 2019, he returned to the University of Seville after obtaining a prestigious contract as a “Beatriz Galindo” Distinguished Senior Researcher in the Department of Organic Chemistry. In 2021, he returned to the IIQ on the scale of Scientific Researcher of the CSIC. Jesús is currently Scientific Director of the “Platform of Biomolecular Interactions” of the cicCartuja research center, and also holds a position as Honorary Associate Professor at the University of East Anglia.
