Rebeca Garcia Fandiño

Rebeca Garcia Fandiño is a Full Professor in the Department of Organic Chemistry at the Faculty of Biology, University of Santiago de Compostela. She leads the SupraNanoBioMol research group focused on supramolecular systems, nanobiomimetics and molecular biophysics.

• Develops cyclodextrin-based therapeutics for age-related diseases
• Studies cyclic peptide nanotubes for antimicrobial applications
• Specializes in molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecular systems

Her research explores hierarchical membrane structures, water model effects in nanoconfined environments, and membrane-targeted therapies. She has published extensively on:

• Toxic oxysterol removal using cyclodextrin dimers
• Antimicrobial D,L-α-cyclic peptide interactions
• Quantum-classical simulation hybrid approaches
• Post-COVID condition molecular characterization
• Augmented reality applications in education

The SupraNanoBioMol group at CIQUS center utilizes experimental and computational techniques including DSC, ATR-FTIR and MD simulations. Recent work addresses antimicrobial resistance through membrane disruption mechanisms and AI-driven drug discovery.
