Carlos F. G. C. Geraldes received his “Licenciatura” (MS equivalent) in Chemistry from the University of Coimbra in 1972, and his Doctor of Philosophy (D.Phil) degree in Inorganic Chemistry from the University of Oxford in 1976 with Prof. Robert J. P. Williams. In his graduate work, he studied the solution conformation of a series of mono and dinucleotides using the so-called Lanthanide Probe Method, measuring the proton NMR induced shifts and nuclear relaxation rates of their complexes of whole paramagnetic Ln(III) series combined with coupling constants and NOE data.
