Santiago Gómez-Ruiz (1978, Toledo, Spain) received his B.Sc. in Chemistry from the Universidad de Castilla La Mancha (Spain) (1996-2001). In 2003, he held a predoctoral position at laboratory of Prof. Hey-Hawkins at Leipzig University (Germany) as "Marie Curie Training Site Fellow", and in December 2004, he finished his Ph.D. thesis, focused on the synthesis and catalytic properties of novel metallocene complexes. He obtained one of the most prestigious postdoctoral research fellowships, from the renowned Alexander Von Humboldt Foundation (2006-2007). During that time he worked in the field of P-Chemistry, publishing several articles of high impact. In December 2007, he returned to URJC and started a new research topic based on the design and preparation of novel metallodrugs and nanostructured materials with biological applications against cancer. In August 2009 he was named as Professor of Inorganic Chemistry, and since February 2020, he has been a full Professor of Inorganic Chemistry (Catedrático de Universidad). Starting in 2001, he has published over 175 research papers, been awarded two patents, participated in more than 20 research projects and has been principal investigator of a competitive Exchange Research Project with the University of Leipzig funded by DAAD and IP of three projects of the Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICIN-AEI, Spain). He has also supervised six Ph.D. students and six M.Sc. students and several local or exchange researchers.
