About

Dr. Vicente Martí Centelles is a Permanent Labor Professor at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) since September 2024, having obtained this position through a tenure-track contract as a distinguished researcher of the CIDEGENT program (Pla GenT, Generalitat Valenciana) from November 2020 to September 2024. Dr. Martí Centelles carries out his research at the Interuniversity Research Institute for Molecular Recognition and Technological Development (IDM) in UPV with extensive experience in supramolecular chemistry and molecular cages (see www.vmarti.es).

Dr. Martí Centelles joined the IDM in 2020 after postdoctoral stays in the United Kingdom, working on molecular cages, and in France, where he focused on molecular machines under a European Marie Curie MSCA-IF grant. He holds a BSc in Chemistry (extraordinary award) and a PhD from the Universitat Jaume I (extraordinary award) in organic supramolecular chemistry and molecular recognition. Additionally, he obtained the ANECA accreditations for assistant professor and contracted professor, both of which are requirements for academic positions in Spain, and has successfully achieved two recognized research six-year periods.

The research line led by Dr. Martí Centelles focuses on molecular cages for cancer therapy. He currently supervises four full-time PhD students and has authored 41 publications, including a book chapter and a patent, with two additional patents in progress. His work has accumulated over 1,850 citations, with an H-index of 19 and an i10-index of 34. Dr. Martí Centelles is also the founding partner of Celentis, a chemical sensors Spin-Off company established in January 2024, marking the first inter-university Spin-Off collaboration between the Universitat de València and the Universitat Politècnica de València.

In terms of supervision and coordination, since 2010 Dr. Martí Centelles has supervised nine doctoral theses, including six currently in progress at the UPV where he is the main director in four of them, as well as seven master's students, eight undergraduate students, and four postdoctoral/visiting researchers.

Regarding research projects, Dr. Martí Centelles has been the principal investigator of a CIDEGENT research project and a national ministry/AEI-funded project on molecular cages. He currently leads a research consolidation project funded by the ministry/AEI and has applied for the GVA ESGENT 2024 grant to support researcher stabilization under the GenT Plan.
