Vicente Gotor-Fernández has been an Associate Professor at the University of Oviedo (Spain) since 2012. He is the co-author of around 180 scientific contributions including research articles, reviews, chapter books and patents, mostly in the field of biocatalysis and organic synthesis. His main current research interest involves the development of selective chemical routes for the asymmetric synthesis of organic compounds, especially focusing on merging different types of catalysis such as biocatalysis, metal catalysis and photocatalysis. He is a member of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry and the Spanish Society of Biotechnology, where he is actively involved, for instance, as the Chairman in the organization of scientific events such as the VI Brazil-Spain Workshop on Organic Chemistry (Oviedo, 2018) or the II Spanish Symposium on Biocatalysis (Oviedo, 2018).
