Miguel Mompeán holds two BSc degrees (Chemistry, 2010, and Biochemistry, 2015), and a European MSc in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling, an initiative from > 30 participating institutions from different countries (2013). In 2011, MM joined the IQFR-CSIC, obtaining his international PhD in Biophysics in 2015. During this period, he was trained in protein NMR and biophysical techniques, and merged this expertise with his interests in computational approaches to tackle the complex biological question of protein assembly in health and disease. After four years trained as a postdoc in advanced NMR and computational methods, including theoretical aspects and hardware implementation, solid-state NMR and hyperpolarization techniques, MM obtained the highest mark in the Juan de la Cierva-Incorporación programme (2018 Call, Biosciences and Biotechnology category) and a Junior Leader fellowship from la Caixa Foundation, rejoining the IQFR-CSIC as a Junior Principal Investigator. This allowed MM to initiate a new research line to study homo- and hetero-amyloids and other protein assembled forms, using a unique, powerful combination of NMR techniques in solution and in the solid-state, combined with hyperpolarization strategies and a myriad of computational approaches that range from quantum mechanical calculations to molecular or spin dynamics simulations to match theory and experiment in the quest for relevant biological answers and new methods. In 2020, MM was awarded a Ramón y Cajal contract, scoring the 3rd highest mark in the Biosciences & Biotechnology category (2019 Call), and in 2022 he obtained a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC-2021-STG Call). |
