Biography
Dr. David Lozano initially trained in synthetic organic chemistry at the Universitat de Barcelona (Prof. Camps) and CiQUS Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (Prof. Peña), shifted focus to apply his synthetic training to the construction of supramolecular architectures after completion of his PhD. In 2017, he joined the group of Dr. Agustí Lledó at iQCC Universitat de Girona as a postdoctoral research associate to explore the host-guest properties of self-folding cavitands for enzyme mimicry. In 2018, Dr. Lozano moved to the University of Southampton to work in the group of Prof Steve Goldup where he developed novel synthetic methodologies for the synthesis of mechanically chiral interlocked molecules. In 2022, he has joined the group of Prof. Sander Wezenberg at the University of Leiden to employ synthetic molecular machinery, such as stimuli-responsive artificial anion binding and transport systems, to influence biological processes associated with transmembrane transport.
