Andrey Antonchick

Dr. Andrey Antonchick is an Associate Professor at the School of Science and Technology, Nottingham Trent University, UK. His career spans prestigious institutions including the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology, Technical University of Dortmund, and Frankfurt University.

• PhD in Bioorganic Chemistry (Belarus/Germany)
• Postdoc with Prof. M. Rueping (Frankfurt University)
• Group Leader at Max Planck Institute (2011)

Research focuses on chemical synthesis for developing novel methods to create small bioactive compounds. Key areas include:

• Enantioselective catalysis for chiral products
• Transition metal-catalyzed C-H bond activation
• Metal-free C-H bond functionalization
• Chemical genetics and cell-based assays

Recent publications highlight enantioselective C-H activation, cycloaddition reactions, and bioactive molecule development. His group collaborates on projects targeting pathways like Hedgehog and Wnt signaling.
