Josep Saurí wins the Best Poster Award at the Small Molecule NMR Conference (SMASH) held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, on 22nd – 25th September, 2013.
In his poster “HSQMBC-TOCSY Experiment: A complementary tool for structure elucidation“ Josep discussed the merits of several versions of the HSQMBC-TOCSY experiment applied to the structural elucidation of small molecules in solution, and compared the information obtained with that provided by the conventional HMBC and HSQC-TOCSY experiments, in particular with regard to the accurate measurement of the magnitude of heteronuclear coupling constants.
Josep has been working as a Ph.D. candidate at the SeRMN under the direction of Dr. Teodor Parella since Sept 2010, when he enrolled in the Chemistry Department doctoral program at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona with a fellowship from MICINN. He is currently in his fourth year and expects to defend his thesis on 2014. You can read about his work on this blog.
