ALBERTO JOSE COELHO COTON

Alberto Jose Coelho Coton is a Professor in the Department of Organic Chemistry at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), affiliated with the Faculty of Pharmacy. He is part of the Materials Institute (iMATUS) and the Strategic Grouping in Materials (AEMAT). His research focuses on drug design, organic synthesis, and pharmacological mechanisms, particularly in platelet antiaggregants and pyridazine derivatives. He leads the Colloid and Polymer Physics Group (GFCP) and collaborates with groups like BioFarma (membrane biology) and Desinfarma (drug synthesis).

• Education: PhD in Organic Chemistry from USC (2003), thesis on 'Platelet antiaggregants referable to the pyridazine structure' under advisors Dr. Enrique Raviña Rubira and Dr. Eddy Sotelo Pérez.

Research interests include drug discovery, catalytic reactions, and applied pharmacology. His work bridges organic synthesis and biomedical applications, with contributions to antiaggregant compounds and pharmacological signal pathways. Active in collaborative projects like GI-1606 (Drug R&D).

No publications or awards are listed in the provided data. He is involved in interdisciplinary teams at the Faculty of Pharmacy and iMATUS, contributing to both academic and strategic R&D initiatives.
