Synthetic Organic Chemistry and
(Bio)Molecular Evolution
A new group with broad interest in molecular synthesis, ranging from small molecules to engineered enzymes.
We are excited to build a dynamic and interdisciplinary team to push the frontiers of synthetic chemistry, biocatalysis,
small molecule evolution and protein therapeutics.
