Eurico J. Cabrita (b 1971) is since 2023 Full Professor at the Chemistry Department, NOVA School of Sciences and Technology (FCT-NOVA) where he currently serves as Vice Dean for Innovation and Research. He is the PI of the (Bio)molecular structure and interaction by NMR research Lab at the Applied Molecular Biosciences Unit (UCIBIO), Coordinator of the Research Infrastructure "Portuguese Network in NMR Spectroscopy". He obtained a MSc in Organic Chemistry in 1994 (FCT-NOVA) and a PhD in Organic Chemistry in 1999 (Universidade Nova de Lisboa). In 2016 he obtained Habilitation in Physical-Chemistry (Universidade Nova de Lisboa). From 2000-03 he was a Post-Doctoral fellow in the laboratory of Stefan Berger at the Inst. für Analytische Chemie, Leipzig, Germany. In 2003 he joined REQUIMTE, FCT-NOVA as an Assistant Researcher and in 2005 he got a position as Assistant Professor at FCT-NOVA, in 2018 he got a position of Associate Professor and in 2023 of Full Professor. During is scientific career EJC published more than 110 papers listed in the SCI (JCR indexed) (33 in the last 5 years) with more than 3000 citations, and 4 book chapters. He has supervised 10 PostDocs, 10 PhD students and 14 MSc students (currently he his involved in the supervision of 3 PhD students, 2 as supervisor and 1 as co-supervisor). In the last 5 years he has attracted more than 1 M¿ of funding in several (inter)national calls (1 as PI, 2 as co-PI and as 5 team member). He participated in several international research networks (national representative of COST CM1306 and FP7-People IRSES ref:318390). Currently he participates in the MSCA-ITN-860954-Neurotrans and HORIZON-INFRA-2021-DEV-0-Remote NMR. EJC has been engaged in several activities in academia, member of the directive board of UCIBIO (2016-22) and of the Chemistry Department Council at FCT-NOVA (2020-22) and scientific societies (2004-06 treasurer of the Portuguese Chemical Society and 20015-18 board member of the Portuguese Biophysical Society). He also has been engaged in distinct commissions of trust, as evaluator of Individual Doctoral Fellowships for the Portuguese FC&T and Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions. His research is focused on the application and development of solution-state NMR as a tool to study intermolecular interactions to reach an atomic level understanding of molecular recognition in (bio)chemical processes. In the last years he has been applying NMR to study protein-ligand interactions for increasingly complex systems; e.g. to understand enzymatic mechanims (J. Med. Chem. 2021, 64, 17, 13025), study membrane proteins (Sci. Rep. 2020, 10(1), 16483), biomolecular crowding (Chem. Eur. J. 2017, 23, 13213) or protein liquid-liquid phase separation (Protein Sci. 2023, 32(1):e4521). Another topic of research are interactions in ionic liquids (ILs). In this field he has explored and developed NMR tools to study the structure and dynamics of ILs in different contexts; e.g. diffusion NMR, to study the microstructure of ILs and their aqueous solutions (Magn. Reson Chem. 2018, 56, 127) and high-pressure NMR to study the mechanism of CO2 solvation in ILs (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 13024; ChemSusChem, 2017, 10, 4927). He also has investigated protein stability in ILs and reported the first study of Saturation Transfer Difference-NMR applied to IL-protein interactions (PCCP, 2014, 16, 23394). In 2010 he was the recipient of the Medalha Vicente Seabra from the Portuguese Chemical Society for his contribution to chemistry in the NMR field in Portugal.
