MARIA MAGDALENA CID FERNANDEZ

Dr. María Magdalena Cid Fernández is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Chemistry, University of Santiago de Compostela, specializing in the Department of Organic Chemistry. She leads the NANOBIOMOL research group focused on nanomaterials and bioactive molecules.

• Doctorate: University of Santiago de Compostela (1990), thesis on synthesis of nitrogenous compounds, alkaloids, and CNS-active molecules.

Her research spans supramolecular chemistry, chiral materials, and photochemistry, with emphasis on allenyl derivatives, molecular cages, and host-guest systems. Recent work explores chiroptical responses, halogen bonding, and dynamic helical polymers.

Key trends in her publications include chiral amplification mechanisms, conformational control, and stimuli-responsive molecular systems. She has contributed to structural elucidation techniques and aromatic interactions in nanoscale systems.

Current affiliations and research focus remain active at the University of Santiago de Compostela.
