معرفی
Gojko Lalic is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Washington. He holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University (2004). His research focuses on developing transition-metal catalyzed reactions for organic synthesis, particularly targeting medicinally relevant compounds. Key areas include differential dihydrofunctionalization of terminal alkynes, regio- and stereoselective formation of substituted alkenes, and organoboron compound transformations. The Lalic Lab emphasizes practical applications in pharmaceuticals while exploring reaction mechanisms and natural product synthesis.
Education: Ph.D., Harvard University, 2004.
Research interests span organometallic chemistry, physical organic chemistry, and synthetic organic chemistry. Recent work highlights include innovations in hydroalkylation, copper-catalyzed olefinations, and prebiotic membrane studies. His research has led to advancements in synthesizing trisubstituted alkenes, allylic amines, and enantioselective reactions. Articles from 2020–2025 reflect a focus on catalytic methods, stereoselectivity, and prebiotic chemistry.
Awards: None explicitly listed. Grants include NSF CAREER funding for catalytic methods (2013).
Advising: Accepting new graduate students. Lab facilities include Bagley Hall labs and offices (BAG 292). Collaborates on prebiotic membrane studies and pharmaceutical synthesis projects.
