Dr. Romo-Mancillas received his Ph.D. in chemistry, cum laude, in 2014 at the Department of Pharmacy in the School of Chemistry of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), under the supervision of Dr. Rafael Castillo. Upon graduation, he joined Dr. Lenin Domínguez-Ramírez at Autonomous Metropolitan University (UAM-Lerma) as a postdoctoral researcher in an academy-industry collaboration with the Department of Innovation and Development of Landsteiner Scientific. Then, he joined the Division of Graduate Studies in the School of Chemistry of the Autonomous University of Queretaro (UAQ) as a part-time professor in 2016 and was promoted to full-time professor in 2017. Dr. Romo-Mancillas’ work has followed two principal directions: (1) molecular modeling of membrane-bound proteins relevant in chronic degenerative diseases, (2) computer-aided drug design and synthesis of novel heterocyclic compounds targeted to membrane-bound proteins.
Well done!
