Professor Eoin Scanlan is a faculty member in the Department of Chemistry at Trinity College Dublin, where he holds the rank of Professor and leads an active research group focused on organic and medicinal chemistry. His work bridges synthetic methodology, chemical biology, and biomedical applications.
His primary research interests include:
- Radical-mediated organic synthesis
- Thiol-ene 'click' chemistry
- Peptide and glycoconjugate synthesis
- Development of fluorescent and theranostic probes
- Chemical biology of carbohydrates and enzymes
- Green and sustainable synthetic methods
Analysis of his recent publications (2022–2024) reveals a strong focus on bioconjugation techniques, particularly using radical thiol-ene chemistry under green conditions, macrocyclization of peptides, and the design of enzyme-responsive theranostic systems for applications in cancer and infectious disease. His collaborative work extends into nanotechnology and structural biology.
His scientific honors include:
- Fellow of Trinity College (2016)
- SFI Career Development Award (2016)
- Frontiers in Chemistry: Rising Stars (2020)
He has secured significant research funding and collaborates extensively, particularly with researchers in chemical biology and materials science. He advises graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in synthetic and biological chemistry. His lab, the Scanlan Research Lab, is actively developing new chemical methodologies for biological applications. He has also contributed to interdisciplinary projects involving microbial fuel cells and surface functionalization, often in collaboration with Paula Colavita.
