Manchester NMR Methodology Group

Visiting Academic
j.cassani@manchester.ac.uk

Research
Matrix-assisted diffusion-ordered spectroscopy

Biography
From 2010 to date: Lecturer in Chemistry at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (Mx).

Current research is focused on the applicability of NMR to solve problems associated to biocatalysis as well as the elucidation of structures from natural products as oligo and polysaccharides.

Ten years of research and management experience working in biocatalysis and NMR on various topics as natural products and biocatalylic studies with lipases and dextransucrases.
