Fernando Jose Lopez Garcia

Fernando Jose Lopez Garcia is a Researcher at the Research Center in Biological Chemistry and Molecular Materials (CIQUS), a joint institution between the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), where he contributes to the BCS Biological and Supramolecular Chemistry group.

He earned his Doctorate from the University of Santiago de Compostela in 2003 with a thesis on Asymmetric synthesis of medium-sized carbocycles, supervised by Dr. José Luis Mascareñas Cid. This foundational work established his expertise in complex organic molecule construction.

Dr. Lopez Garcia's research centers on Supramolecular Chemistry and Biological Chemistry, with significant contributions to Organic Synthesis methodologies. His specialization in Asymmetric Synthesis enables precise creation of chiral carbocyclic structures, bridging synthetic chemistry with biological applications to develop functional molecular systems. Current work focuses on designing bio-inspired supramolecular architectures for advanced material science.

His research activities are anchored in the BCS group at CIQUS, a collaborative hub fostering interdisciplinary innovation in chemical sciences through state-of-the-art instrumentation and cross-institutional partnerships.
