Who we are

Melius Organics creates specialized molecules for scientific research. We work across a broad range of organic compounds, creating everything from potential drug molecules to specialized research tools. We focus on challenging chemistry that requires real expertise and experience.

We help scientists get their work done faster and easier. Whether you’re developing new drugs, working with biological systems, or running any project that needs specialized molecules, we have two ways to help.

We provide custom synthesis services and work closely with your team to solve complex problems. We also offer ready-made chemical building blocks through our catalog.

Melius Organics is a team of skilled chemists who enjoy tackling difficult synthetic challenges. We believe that when scientists have access to the molecules they need, breakthrough discoveries happen faster in every field.

Our philosophy

Our founding team

Miguel Bernús

PhD

Miguel obtained his Master’s degree in photochemical transformations in Melchiorre’s lab. In 2023, he completed his Ph.D. at URV, focusing on the development of reagents for introducing new fluorosulfur motifs, such as SF5. During his studies, he also developed innovative flow methodologies under the supervision of Prof. Timothy Noël.

Jordi Mestre

PhD, MBA

Jordi obtained his PhD stablishing the seminal work on various fluorination technologies within our research line. He then pursued additional training in entrepreneurship, technology transfer, and business management, completing an MBA to enhance the valorization of chemical technologies developed in our lab.

Omar Boutureira

PhD | Scientific advisor

Omar is the principal investigator of a research line Rovira i Virgili University that encompasses fluorination technologies and chemical biology. During his PhD studies and posterior postdoctoral stays at Oxford and Cambridge universities, he collected vast experience in glycobiology and protein modification and carbohydrate chemistry.
