MEDINA Invited Seminar Series – Dr. Bradley Moore
Granada, June 5, 2025
For the next seminar in the MEDINA Seminar Series, we are delighted to host Dr. Bradley Moore, Distinguished Professor of Marine Chemical Biology and Director of the Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego. He also is Distinguished Professor and former chair of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the UCSD Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences where he holds a joint faculty appointment.
Dr. Bradley Moore will give a talk on “Understanding and Translating the Specialized Chemistry of the Ocean’s Living Wonders”.
The seminar will take place on June 24th at 12 pm in the Auditorium of Fundación MEDINA, Fundación PTS, Granada.
Don’t miss the opportunity to interact with Dr. Moore and learn from his research experience on chemistry, biochemistry and genetics of natural product drug leads and toxins from (primarily) marine microorganisms. Additionally, you will be able to connect with colleagues from the scientific community of Granada and its surroundings to exchange innovative ideas and open the door to future collaborations. We look forward to seeing you there!
If you cannot attend in person, there is the possibility to connect to the seminar via Zoom (registration required).
Bio
Dr. Bradley Moore is a Distinguished Professor of Marine Biology and Pharmaceutical Chemistry at UC San Diego where he holds joint appointments at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Moore’s scientific interests focus on chemically exploring and genetically exploiting marine natural products, primarily as drug leads and environmental toxins. His group employs a multidisciplinary approach connecting genes to molecules, and over the years has developed numerous genome mining techniques that are now standard in the biosynthetic community.
Moore received a B.S. in chemistry from the University of Hawaii. He was a National Institutes of Health predoctoral training fellow in biotechnology at the University of Washington, where he received a PhD in bioorganic chemistry. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in bioorganic chemistry at the University of Zurich (Switzerland). He held professorships at the University of Washington and the University of Arizona before joining UC San Diego in 2005.
Moore is an elected fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the American Academy of Microbiology, and the American Society for Pharmacognosy; the former president of the American Society for Pharmacognosy; and an Associate Editor of the ACS journal Organic Letters. Moore has been a PI on NIH/NSF-funded grants for over 20 years totaling >$30M and is the founding Director of the NIEHS/NSF-sponsored Scripps Center for Oceans and Human Health since 2012.
