The Power of Functional Resins in Organic Synthesis

Judit Tulla-Puche is a senior scientist at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine in the group of Professor Fernando Albericio. She received her Ph.D. in chemistry at the University of Minnesota under the supervision of Professor George Barany, and then moved to the Barcelona Science Park. Her research efforts are directed at the synthesis of cyclic peptides and depsipeptides with anticancer activity, and the development of drug delivery methodologies. Fernando Albericio is the Executive Director of the Barcelona Science Park, Professor at the University of Barcelona, and group leader at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine. His major research interests cover practically all aspects of peptide synthesis and combinatorial chemistry methodologies, as well as synthesis of peptides and small molecules with therapeutic activities. He has published over 500 papers and is currently editor of Amino Acids and the International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics.
