Sergi Gil graduated in Chemistry at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. He continued his studies at the same university with a Master in Chemistry Sciences under supervision of Dr. Albert Virgili. His Master Thesis concerns the synthesis, conformational studies and behaviour of molecular tweezers as chiral solvating agents for determination of enantiomeric purity using NMR techniques. After getting his degree, he joined to the Doctorate Program in Chemistry under supervision of Dr. Teodor Parella. His dissertation consists in the development and optimization of NMR pulse sequences, specifically for the measurement of heteronuclear long-range coupling constants. He has been appointed by Bruker within the IDPbyNMR project.

Researcher	Sergi Gil Caballero
Project Topic	Implementation and spreading of new NMR methodologies
Project Description	¹³C-detected NMR spectroscopy has facilitated and improved the characterization and elucidation of IDPs as well as their use as a complementary tool for the study of folded proteins. However, inherent properties of IDPs demand the incorporation of new experiments and hardware developments in order to increase the knowledge and the number of unfolded biomolecules under study. This project is focused in the development of new NMR methods as well as an enhancement in the technology transfer between Bruker BioSpin and research centers with the implementation and spreading of new NMR methodologies for liquid, solid-state and in-cell NMR, in special with experiments based on ¹³C-detected spectroscopy.
