Main Research Focus

  • Microstructured flow reactors, inductive heating, multistep flow reactions of active compounds
  • Total, semi- and mutasynthesis of biologically active natural products: Anti-infectives, antitumor agents, antivirals; natural products as basic building blocks of active compounds
  • New concepts for drug targeting and delivery
  • Molecular evolution and the origin of life
  • In cooperation with Dr. Dräger: Biocompatible (bio)materials for medical implants: Synthesis of materials, surface functionalization, active ingredients for stem cell research
