M. Dels Angels Gonzalez Lafont

M. Dels Angels Gonzalez Lafont is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), affiliated with the Computational BioNanoCat research group. She holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences (1989) and advanced degrees from UAB. Her academic roles at UAB began as an assistant professor in 1984, progressing to interim associate professor by 1991.

• Education:
  • Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (1989)
  • Licenciatura en Ciències Químiques, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (1984–1985)

Her research focuses on computational enzymology, transition state theory, and drug design targeting inflammation-related diseases. Key projects include:

• Designing photopharmacological treatments for cancer (2024–2027)
• Development of biomolecular engineering tools for disease treatment (2021–2025)
• Simulating inflammatory processes at molecular level (2018–2021)

Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and innovation. Over 160 publications span topics like enzyme catalysis, fluorogenic probes, and lipoxygenase inhibition. She leads a team advancing computational methods for drug discovery and molecular modeling in cancer and inflammatory disease contexts.
