Curriculum

Brief CV

Dr. Miquel Adrover Estelrich was graduated in Chemical Sciences for the University of the Balearic Islands in September 2003.

Right after that he started in the world of research, joining the Drug Reactivity and Design Group of the UIB, where he completed his doctoral thesis, which he defended in September 2008.

In 2006, and during the completion of his thesis, he joined the faculty of the Department of Chemistry at the UIB by obtaining a position as Assistant Professor. In 2009, he obtained a position as Doctoral Assistant Professor in the same department, and in 2012 he moved to the category of Doctoral Contracted Professor. Already in 2017 he obtained the position of Lecturer, which he enjoys today.

From the beginning (2004) until the defense of his doctoral thesis (2008), his research activity was developed at the University of the Balearic Islands. This was focus on the kinetic study of the reactions between carbohydrates and derivatives of vitamin B6, a process that is involved in the mechanism of inhibition of protein glycation processes, causing the diseases associated with diabetes mellitus.

In 2009, he strated a post-doctoral stay at the National Institute for Medical Research in London, where he stayed for 1 year and 8 months. His stay was focused on learning how to use NMR for the study of biological macromolecules. Thus, he participated in different research projects such as the study of prion proteins, the study of proteins involved in the assembly and transfer of Fe-S clusters, the study of a protein involved in muscle movement, or the study of cold and hot protein denaturation processes, among others.

Later Dr. Adrover rejoined the University of the Balearic Islands where he currently carries out his research, integrated in the same group where he completed his doctoral thesis. Specifically, this focuses on the study of the effect of protein glycation on the structure and aggregation capacity of proteins. More precisely, he is insterested in understanding the molecular mechanisms that stimulates the development of Parkinson's disease in diabetic people.

Among other merits, and to date, Dr. Adrover has published 53 articles in international journals, all of them cited in the JCR; has participated in 29 research projects; has presented 78 contributions to congresses; has directed 12 Master's projects and 5 Final Degree projects; and has a granted patent. He has achieved 3 five years of teaching and 2 six years of research. Its h-index is 18 and so far it has 841 citations.
