Patrick Gamez
ICREA Research Professor
Coordinator of nanoBIC
- Leader of the Team "Chem Design"
Patrick Gamez studied Chemistry at the Université Claude Bernard Lyon I (France) from where he received his PhD in Organic Chemistry, in the field of Enantioselective Catalysis. He subsequently went to the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung (Germany) as a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow, where he worked in Organometallic Chemistry with chromium(II) compounds. He then returned to France, at the Université de Strasbourg, as an industrial postdoctoral fellow (UCB Pharma) in the area of Bio-Organic Chemistry. After spending one year in Strasbourg, he moved in 1999 to Leiden University (The Netherlands), as a senior postdoctoral fellow leading a research team of about 10 young investigators (BSc and MSc students, PhDs and Postdocs). During 10 years, he pursued research in the areas of biomimetic oxidation catalysis (models of copper-containing enzymes), copper-based cytotoxic complexes, spin-transition compounds and Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs).
On October 1, 2010, he was appointed an ICREA Research Professor at the Universitat de Barcelona in the field of Bio-Inorganic Chemistry. His current research
interests are aimed at developing novel Nanotechnology strategies for the development of efficient diagnostic and therapeutic tools (theranostics; drug delivery and detection) against Cancer
and Amyloid diseases
such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease or
Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.
