• Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification

Dr. Schulze's research centers on developing efficient syntheses of drug-gable macrocycles adhering to Lipinski's Rule of Five and Topological Polar Surface Area (TPSA) metrics. He specializes in stereo-controlled organic synthesis of 9–11-membered macrocycles with peptidomimetic properties, systematically correlating ring size, functional group patterns, and stereochemistry with Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) inhibition. Current work focuses on a stereo-selective 5-step synthesis of 9-membered azeninone macrocycles as PPI model systems.
