Ramon Hurtado-Guerrero obtained his B.Sc. in Pharmacy from the University of Granada and completed his PhD at the University of Granada, where he worked in Molecular Parasitology. Then, he moved to the University of Leeds as a postdoctoral researcher under the supervision of Prof. Mike McPherson, where he worked in the elucidation of how a self-postranslational modification in galactose oxidase occurred. Then, he moved to University College of London where he worked under the cosupervision of Prof. Vallance and the company "Unipath" to develop a kit to determine ADMA in blood samples. Finally, his last postdoctoral position was in Prof. van Aalten´s lab at the University of Dundee. There, he was introduced to Structural Glycobiology where he adquired all his skills in Protein X-ray Crystallography. During this time he solved several crystal structures of transglycosylases such as Gas2, as well as chitinases and glycosyltransferases such as OGT and LpGT. At the end of 2009, he started his own lab as an ARAID investigator at the University of Zaragoza and works in the fascinating world of enzymes that process carbohydrates and proteins/antibodies that recognise different types of sugars.
