Diego Gamba-Sanchez obtained his BSc from UNAL – Bogotá in 2004, then his master degree working on a new tandem reaction ring closing/fluorination of allylamines in superacid medium, supervised by Sebastien Thibaudeau in 2006. Later he moved to the EcolePolytechnique-Palaiseau and joined the group of JoëllePrunet where he finished his PhD working on diastereo selective synthesis of 1,3-diols and Pummerer reaction oriented to the synthesis of nucleoside analogues. After one year of Postdoc with Thorsten Bach, he moved back to Colombia in 2011 and joined the Chemistry Department of the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, where he started his independent. His research interests are total synthesis of natural products and the development of new organic transformations using biological and organic catalyst.
