Prof. Dr. Pere Clapés
Full Professor at CSIC (Spanish Research Council) Catalonia Institute for Advanced Chemistry (IQAC)
Chemist specialized in biocatalysis and biotransformation in organic asymmetric synthesis of bioactive molecules. He’s published over 100 scientific papers and patents in the field of biocatalysis. He is currently head of the Biotransformation and Bioactive Molecules Group were he conducts research on the exploitation of biocatalysts in asymmetric carbon-carbon bond formation as a means to rapidly create chiral structures of high complexity to produce novel compounds for bioactivity testing. The research in close cooperation with the other participants of the group includes cascade chemoenzymatic synthesis, analysis, purification, computational models, and biological evaluation of products. Prof. Dr. Clapés product research is focused on cancer, particularly in metastasis, and the prevention of the metabolic syndrome, with particular focus on the control of blood sugar.
