Together with the Boger lab we recently published our work "Mechanistic Insights into the Reaction of Amidines with 1,2,3-Triazines and...

Our paper on the reactivity of 2-pyridyl tetrazines is now open access in JACS: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.2c01056

In this collaborative work with Aneta Turlik and Ken Houk we investigated the increased Diels-Alder reactivity of tetrazines when...

Our work together with the Herth group and others is now available on the ChemRxiv.

Together with the Harran group (UCLA) we worked on a computational workflow to create a gigalibrary of composite peptidic macrocycles...

My poster was selected as one of 10 that will be presented at the Austrian Research and Innovation Talks (ARIT). The ARIT is virtual this...

I am honored to receive the 2020 Postdoctoral Research Award of the UCLA Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. I like to thank all my...

In this paper we describe the synthesis of tetrazine and trans-cyclooctene modified polypept(o)ides and their bioorthogonal reactivity....

Our articles "Factors Controlling the Diels–Alder Reactivity of Hetero‐1,3‐Butadienes" and "Elucidating the Trends in Reactivity of...

We published a mechanistic study of the 2+2 and 4+2 cycloadditions between tetrafluorotheylene and butadiene. Read it here! (open access)

We describe how ATR-IR can be used to follow strain-promoted azide alkyne cycloadditions even in biological solvent. Read this open...

We demonstrate that PeptoBrushes can be used for pretargeted nuclear imaging. These PeptoBrushes also show unusual bioorthogonal...

With the increase in computing power I'm wondering how much of (organic) computational chemistry could be done on a single PC. A short...

This paper includes work I performed in my bachelor thesis. Great work by all authors! Link to paper (open access)
