Jesús A. Varela was born in 1971 in Lugo, Spain, and studied chemistry at the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

He completed his M. Sc. in 1994 and his Ph. D. thesis in 1999 (excellent award) both under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Carlos Saá for research on synthesis of oligopyridines via cobalt chemistry.

He spent a predoctoral research training period in Harvard University under supervision of Prof. Dr. Matthew Shair working on polyol synthesis by C-H insertion of metal-carbenes.

From 1999 to 2001, he spent a postdoctoral period as an Alexander Von Humboldt and Marie Curie Fellow with Prof. Dr. Paul Knochel at Ludwig Maximilians Universität in Munich (Germany), working on remote C-H activation via hydroboration.

He joined the faculty at the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela as Ramón y Cajal researcher, since 2008 as Associate Professor, and since 2023 as Full Professor. His research interests are focused in metal-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions towards medium-sized carbo- and heterocycles.
