Eurico Cabrita
Eurico J. Cabrita (b 1971) is since 2023 a Full Professor at the Chemistry Department, NOVA School of Sciences and Technology (FCT-NOVA). He is the PI of the (Bio)molecular structure and interaction by NMR research Lab at the Applied Molecular Biosciences Unit (UCIBIO) and Coordinator of the Research Infrastructure "Portuguese Network in NMR Spectroscopy". He obtained a MSc in Organic Chemistry in 1994 (FCT-NOVA) and a PhD in Organic Chemistry in 1999 (Universidade Nova de Lisboa). In 2016 he obtained Habilitation in Physical-Chemistry (Universidade Nova de Lisboa). From 2000-03 he was a Post-Doctoral fellow in the laboratory of Stefan Berger at the Inst. für Analytische Chemie, Leipzig, Germany. In 2003 he joined REQUIMTE, FCT-NOVA as an Assistant Researcher and in 2005 he got a position as Assistant Professor at FCT-NOVA. His research is focused on the application and development of solution-state NMR as a tool to study intermolecular interactions to reach an atomic level understanding of molecular recognition in (bio)chemical processes. In the last years he has been applying NMR to study protein-ligand interactions for increasingly complex systems; e.g. to understand enzymatic mechanims (J. Med. Chem. 2021, 64, 17, 13025), study membrane proteins (Sci. Rep. 2020, 10(1), 16483), biomolecular crowding (Chem. Eur. J. 2017, 23, 13213) or protein liquid-liquid phase separation. During is scientific career EJC published more than 100 papers listed in the SCI (JCR indexed) (38 in the last 5 years) with more than 2700 citations, and 4 book chapters. In 2010 he was the recipient of the Medalha Vicente Seabra from the Portuguese Chemical Society for his contribution to chemistry in the NMR field in Portugal.
