Julio C. Pardo-Novoa was born in Villamar, Michoacán,
Mexico on October 2, 1987. He undertook undergraduate
studies in Chemistry, obtained his B.Sc. degree from Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, Mexico in 2011,
and continued graduate work at the same institution to obtain a
M.Sc. degree in 2014 and a Doctor of Science degree in 2018.
He is currently carrying out postdoctoral studies in the Department of Chemistry, Cinvestav-IPN in Mexico City. His research
interests are focused on the field of natural products, including
isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical transformations.
During his scientific career, he has published four research
articles.
Carlos M. Cerda-García-Rojas was born in Uruapan,
Michoacán, México on February 11, 1963. He obtained his
B.Sc. degree from Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás
de Hidalgo, in Morelia, Mexico in 1984. He obtained his
M.Sc. degree in 1988 and a Doctor of Science degree in 1992
both from Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados
del Instituto Politécnico Nacional (Cinvestav-IPN) under the
guidance of Professor P. Joseph-Nathan. After a postdoctoral
fellowship at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of
California, San Diego in La Jolla, California, USA from 1993
to 1994 under the supervision of Professor D. John Faulkner,
he became a faculty member at the Department of Chemistry,
Cinvestav-IPN, Mexico City, where he has been promoted to
Professor of Chemistry. He has developed research on the determination of the absolute structure and molecular conformation
of bioactive natural products with medicinal and industrial
relevance by molecular modeling using quantum mechanical
calculations and nuclear magnetic resonance. His research
interests also focus on the chemical transformation of natural
compounds, including sesquiterpenes and diterpenes, to explore
their biological activities as anticancer agents. Derived from
interdisciplinary collaborative work, he has coauthored 150
research publications and has supervised 14 Master of Science
and nine doctoral theses. He has been honored with the 2012
Martín de la Cruz Prize in Chemistry and Biology, awarded
by the General Health Council on World Health Day, Mexico
City, for his scientific research applied to the development of
medicines from natural products.
