Pascal Rathelot

Pascal Rathelot is a Lecturer at Aix-Marseille University, affiliated with the Radical Pharmacochemistry (PCR) Team. His research focuses on reaction mechanisms and the synthesis of heterocyclic molecules (nitrogen and sulfur heterocycles) with pharmacological potential, particularly in the anti-infective domain.

His work bridges chemistry and biology, emphasizing optimization of structure-activity relationships and pharmacokinetic properties through hit-to-lead strategies. He also investigates unique antiparasitic mechanisms of action when they deviate from classical pathways.
