Dr. Fernando Cagide obtained his Bachelor's degree (2002) in Chemistry at the Chemistry Faculty of the University of Santiago de Compostela and his PhD (2009) in Organic Chemistry at the Chemistry Faculty at the University of Santiago de Compostela. His PhD thesis was focused on the area of Organic Chemistry, and the research was related to the synthesis of natural products of marine origin such as tetrodotoxin (a toxin present in a large number of species) and alkaloids extracted from plants such as pancratistanin (present in the family of Amaryllidaceae). In 2011, he started a post-doctoral stay at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto, with a postdoctoral fellowship by FCT (SFRH/BPD/72923/2010), focusing on the area of Medicinal Chemistry. During this period, he participated in the synthesis of several families of compounds and evaluation of the biological properties, as their enzymatic inhibition properties in Acetyl- and Butyrylcholinesterases (AChE and BChE, respectively) and Monoamine Oxidase (MAO-A and -B)), their cytotoxicity profile evaluated in cell-free and cell-based assays, and their antioxidant properties. From 2016 up to now, he has been invited to lecture Undergraduate and MSc classes within the curricular units: a) Medicinal Chemistry, b) Advances Advanced Methods in Structural Analysis, and c) Methods of Structural Analysis Methods at FCUP.
