Magdalena Cid received her PhD from the Universidade of Santiago de Compostela in 1990 and did postdoctoral stages in Sandoz Pharma, now Novartis (Basel, Switzerland) and The Scripps Research Institute (La Jolla, CA, USA) mainly dealing with synthesis of nitrogen-containing compounds. In 1996 she joined the Universidade de Vigo where she has become an associate professor. She is interested in the design, synthesis and characterization of chiral (macro)molecules and the usage of chiroptical properties and NMR (scalar and dipolar coupling constants) for total elucidation of their structures.

Jorge Bravo is professor in the department of inorganic chemistry at the University of Vigo. His research interests encompass organometallic chemistry of group 7 - 9 metals, the development of water-soluble complexes, and their structure elucidation. He joined the University of Vigo in 1978.
