Rafel Prohens

Born in Catalonia, Rafel Prohens grew up in Mallorca. “I received a PhD in Organic Chemistry from the University of the Balearic Islands and straightaway joined Chris Hunter's group at Sheffield University. In 2012, I founded CIRCE Crystal Engineering, a project to transfer Hunter’s approach on the study of intermolecular interactions into technological tools for the pharmaceutical industry.” Today, Rafel combines his roles as Scientific Director of CIRCE, Technical Manager at the University of Barcelona, and Research Visitor at the University of Cambridge.
