Gonzalo Jiménez-Osés received his PhD from University of La Rioja (UR) in 2007 working on experimental organic synthesis, then moved to University of Zaragoza-CSIC (2007-2010) first as a postdoctoral associate and then as a lecturer working on heterogeneous metal catalysis.

He then moved to University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA, 2010-2015) first as a postdoctoral fellow then as a research associate working with Ken Houk on computational chemistry. After a short period back at UR as a Ramon y Cajal research fellow (2015-2018), he is currently leader of the Computational Chemistry group at CIC bioGUNE since 2019.

Gonzalo’s research resides in the interphase between Chemistry, Biology and Computation, and uses state-of-the art multiscale simulation methods to predict and understand complex chemical and biological processes such as reaction mechanisms, protein structure/dynamics/function and matter properties. Besides interacting closely with leading experimental groups, his group also develops the synthetic chemistry necessary to validate all theoretical predictions.
