معرفی
Professor Jeremy Robertson is a Professor of Chemistry and Tutorial Fellow in Organic Chemistry at Brasenose College, University of Oxford. He leads the Chemistry Research Laboratory (CRL) and serves as Director of Graduate Studies for Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology. His research focuses on natural product synthesis, synthetic methodology, and enzymatic catalysis, particularly using cytochrome P450 enzymes for drug discovery and complexity generation. Robertson’s academic journey includes a DPhil under Sir Jack Baldwin and postdoctoral work at Columbia University with Gilbert Stork. He has pioneered collaborations with industry, co-founding OxSynC to bridge synthetic chemistry with external researchers.
Robertson’s research integrates free radical chemistry, pericyclic cascades, and biocatalytic strategies. Notable projects include enzymatic C–H oxidation and synthetic routes for nutraceuticals in collaboration with Prof. Kieran Clarke. His group emphasizes training in multistep synthesis, chemoenzymatic methods, and biological applications. Robertson’s labs transitioned from the Dyson Perrins Laboratory to CRL in 2004 and are part of the Oxford Suzhou Centre for Advanced Research (OSCAR), operational since 2019.
His academic contributions span over 30 years, with publications in Journal of the American Chemical Society, Organic Letters, and Nature Synthesis. Robertson’s work bridges organic synthesis with medicinal and biological challenges, fostering interdisciplinary innovation.
