Jordi gained his PhD at the University de Barcelona and became a PDRA at Leuven and Antwerp in Belgium. Following on from working at the Micklefield lab, Jordi moved on to become a\u00a0lecturer in Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Huddersfield, and an associate lecturer with the Open University.<\/p>\n
