Supramolecular Medical Chemistry team

The Supramolecular Medical Chemistry team (QSM-UV) is made up of 9 team members and 6 collaborator researchers belonging to a Research Institute (Institute of Molecular Science, Supramolecular Chemistry Group), and to three Departments of the University of Valencia: Department of Organic Chemistry, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Group of Applications of yeasts in biocatalysis and other biotechnological processes) and Department of Inorganic Chemistry . A researcher belongs to the Department of Biomedical Organic Chemistry of the Cardenal Herrera University, CEU San Pablo located in Moncada. The choice of the team members has been carefully performed based on accumulated experience, degree of complementarity and multidisciplinary. The project contemplates not only the participation of women in the research team, but also the inclusion of female researchers at all levels of responsibility, from the direction of various research lines of this project, as described below, to the coordination of the project by Dr. Ma Teresa Albelda as co- principal investigator. Gender balance has always prevailed in the composition of QSM-UV, paying special attention to the division of tasks and working conditions within the team and to equality in the recognition of their achievements. The commitment to equality will also be extended to the incorporation of new research staff as indicated in subsequent sections.
In addition, although they do not appear in the research team directly, the QSM-UV team will have the collaboration of researchers belonging to the Institute of Medical Chemistry of the CSIC (Madrid), Department of Parasitology of the University of Granada (Design and Application of Antiparasitic Drugs), researchers from the Joan XXII Hospital of Tarragona (Group of Molecular Biology of the Epithelium in Inflammation and Cancer, ) and the research group of Cellular Biology of Cancer of the University of the Balearic Islands, to carry out some of the in vitro and in vivo tests that are proposed in the work plan. We believe that collaboration with these groups provides significant added value to the project.
The members of the QSM-UV team are co-authors of more than 600 scientific publications and have supervised 50 doctoral theses. The researchers who are members of the QSM-UV team completed a total of 29 six-year research periods.
