He has worked in different universities and research centres in Spain, USA, Germany, Mexico and United Kingdom and is currently Associate Professor in the Department of Organic and Inorganic Chemistry at the Universidad de Alcalá. His research activity is directed both to the search for new methodologies for the synthesis of nitrogenous heterocycles and to the obtaining and evaluation of compounds with applications in medicinal chemistry. Specifically, his research lines cover the chemistry and applications of BN-arenes, heteroaromatic cations and polycyclic azo dyes, the search for new synthetic methodologies based on the use of isonitriles and the development of biologically active compounds against targets involved in renal disease.
He has also developed various activities related to the social communication of science. Thus, he has collaborated with several media (Jot Down, Mètode, Naukas, Principia, The Conversation, Diario La Rioja) and published the book “Drogas, Fármacos y Venenos” (editorial Almuzara).
