Research Professor at IBMB-CSIC leading the Nucleic Acid Chemistry Group since 1999. Member of the Institute for Research in Biomedicine since December 2004.
His main area of expertise on oligonucleotide and peptide synthesis especially on the methodological aspects of solid-phase synthesis (monomer synthesis, preparation of solid supports, synthesis and purification). Experience in most areas related to the synthesis and properties of oligonucleotide derivatives including non-natural bases, phosphate and backbone modifications, oligonucleotide-peptide conjugates and RNA derivatives; Publications: 196, Citations at Science Citation Index: 3200. Ph. D. Thesis supervised: 11. Master or equivalent supervised: 13
