Rose Lynch

Rose Lynch is a Research Fellow at the School of Chemistry, University of St Andrews, affiliated with the Institute of Behavioural and Neural Sciences. Her research lies at the intersection of synthetic chemistry and natural product discovery, with a focus on bioactive molecules such as violacein and pacidamycins.

Her research interests include Natural Product Chemistry, Derivatization Strategies, Antibiotic Discovery, and Synthetic Biology-integrated Chemistry (SynBio-SynChem). She employs advanced synthetic methodologies such as Pictet-Spengler and Buchwald-Hartwig reactions, and explores glycosylation techniques to enhance molecular functionality.

The recent publications highlight a consistent trend in developing innovative chemical strategies to modify and diversify natural product scaffolds for pharmaceutical applications. Her work often integrates biological systems with synthetic chemistry, particularly through GenoChemetic approaches. There is a strong emphasis on sustainable methods and interdisciplinary collaboration.
