Pol Hernandez Llado

Dr Pol Hernandez Llado is a Stipendiary Lecturer in Chemistry at Jesus College, University of Oxford, and holds a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in Medicinal Chemistry. He teaches undergraduate Organic Chemistry and focuses on research areas including medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, and organic synthesis.

Academic Background: BSc in Chemistry from the University of Barcelona (not specified year), followed by a DPhil from the University of Oxford's Synthesis for Biology and Medicine CDT (not specified year).

Research Focus: Specializes in radical cascade reactions, natural product synthesis, and asymmetric catalysis with applications in drug discovery. His work emphasizes sustainable methodologies such as light-mediated radical processes and enzyme engineering.

Publications: Recent work includes breakthroughs in ginkgolide core synthesis, bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane bioisosteres, and P450BM3-directed evolution for C–H oxidations. His 2018 study explored iridium-catalyzed hydrogenation of N-aryl imines via X-ray crystallography.

Affiliations: Active in Jesus College's Chemistry department and the Oxford Synthesis for Biology and Medicine program. No awards explicitly stated in source texts.
