Confirmed Invited Speakers.

Dr. Matias A. Llabrés Martines. Professor of the Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Technology Area from the Chemical Engineering and Pharmaceutical Technology Department of the Universidad de La Laguna.

                  

Dra. Emma Borges Chinea. Professor of the Chemical Engineering Area from the Chemical Engineering and Pharmaceutical Technology Department of the Universidad de La Laguna.

Dra. Emma Borges received her PhD of Chemistry and actually is Professor in the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of La Laguna in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. She focuses on Chemical Engineering research about catalysis and catalytic applications for biofuels production and photocatalytic materials applied in wastewater polllutants decomposition and hydrogen production using sunlight. Actually she is involved in several proyects related to 3D printing applications in sustainable environmental processes for biofuels production and air/water decontamination.

                       

Dr. Tomás Martín Ruiz. Head Scientist. Coordinator of the research group «Molecular recognition and supramolecular chemistry». CSIC. Instituto de Productos Naturales y Agrobiología.

Tomás Martín received his B.Sc. in Chemistry at the University of La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain in 1991 and obtained his Ph.D. degree in 1996, at the same University, working on the enantioselective synthesis of γ-lactones, under the guidance of Dra. C. M. Rodríguez and Professor Víctor S. Martín. He spent two years (1997-1998) at the Scripps Research Institute as a postdoctoral fellow, with Professor Julius Rebek working in supramolecular chemistry. In 1999, he came back to Canary Islands, with a reincorporation contract of the Spanish MEC, joining the Victor S. Martín group. In 2002, he won a contract of the “Ramón y Cajal” programme. In 2005 he was promoted Tenured Scientist, and in 2018 Research Scientist at the Instituto de Productos Naturales y Agrobiología-CSIC, Tenerife, Spain. His research interests include supramolecular chemistry, methodology and total synthesis of bioactive natural products.
