Biography

Ronan Batista was born in 1973 in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, where he completed his B.Sc. (Pharmacy, 1994), M.Sc. (Organic Chemistry, 1997) and Ph.D. (Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2005) degrees at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). In 1999, he joined the Department of Basic Sciences (DEBI) at the State University of the Southwest of Bahia (UESB) as Organic Chemistry lecturer. Under supervision of Prof. Dr. Alaíde B. de Oliveira, at the Faculty of Pharmacy – UFMG, he completed his Ph.D. studies (2001-2005) working on the synthesis of kaurane derivatives with potential trypanocidal activity, in collaboration with the parasitologist Prof. Dr. Egler Chiari (UFMG) for the assays against Trypanosoma cruzi, the aetiological agent of Chagas Disease (American Trypanosomiasis). Part of his Ph.D. studies was on the synthesis of diterpenyl-naphthoquinones which was carried out during a doctoral stage at the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry of the University of Salamanca, Spain, from April 2003 to March 2004, under supervision of Profs. Dr. José M. Miguel del Corral and Dr. Arturo San Feliciano. In November 2012 he joined the Department of Organic Chemistry, Institute of Chemistry, Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), in Salvador, Bahia State, Brazil, as Adjunct Professor. From July, 2014, to January, 2016, he took his Post-Doc studies at the College of Life Sciences, University of Dundee, U.K., under supervision of Prof. Dr. Alan H. Fairlamb, working on the design, synthesis and evaluation of cinnoline fragments as tools for target validation in Leishmania donovani. His current research interests are focused on natural products and derivatives active against neglected diseases and malaria.
