Edson Luiz da Silva Lima received his B.S. degree from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 1987 and the Ph.D.degree in Organic Synthesis in the same University in 1992. After a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University in thelaboratories of Prof. David A. Evans, he moved back to Brazil to join the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation as a research associate in1995. After two years he joined the Institute of Chemistry of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro where he currently holdsthe position of Professor of Chemstry.
