📅 December 9th
📍 ICIQ Auditorium Prof. Dr. Kilian Muñiz
Welcome to the Second UCB Lecture Award, which will be held at ICIQ’s auditorium in December 9th.
The UCB Lecture Award aims to distinguish oustanding scientists, which have been pioneers in areas of synthetic organic chemistry relevant to human health.
We are excited to announce that Prof. Cristina Nevado is the 2024 awardee in recognition of the variety and creativity of his research devoted to the development of new catalytic methods for the construction of C–C and C–X bonds, elucidation of underlying mechanisms achieving molecular complexity as well as her important contributions in the synthesis of medicinally relevant natural products and bioactive chemical probes.
During the event, James Reuberson, from UCB Biopharma will also deliver a talk to present the company.

Speakers
Prof. Cristina Nevado
Cristina Nevado graduated in Chemistry at the Autónoma University in 2000. In October 2004 she received her PhD from the same university working with Prof. Antonio M. Echavarren thereafter joining the group of Prof. Alois Fürstner at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung (Germany) as a post doctoral associate. In May 2007 she started her independent career as an Assistant Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Zürich. In 2011, Cristina was awarded the Chemical Society Reviews Emerging Investigator Award and the Thieme Chemistry Journal Award in recognition of her contributions in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. In 2012 she received an ERC Junior Investigator grant and in 2013 was awarded the Werner Prize of the Swiss Chemical Society and was directly promoted to Full Professor. In 2019, she received the Royal Society of Chemistry Award in Organometallic Chemistry and in 2020 the Excellence Research Trajectory Award of the Royal Spanish Chemical Society (RSEQ) as well as the Margaret Faul Women in Chemistry Award. Among her many contributing roles to the community, Cristina is currently Senior Associate Editor for ACS Central Science, Organic Syntheses and Science of Synthesis. Rooted in the wide area of organic chemistry, her research program is focused on complex chemical synthesis and new organometallic reactions.
