Stellios Arseniyadis

Dr. Stellios Arseniyadis is a Professor of Organic Chemistry at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), affiliated with the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences and the Centre for Chemical Research. He holds a PhD and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC). His research focuses on developing novel synthetic methodologies, including asymmetric catalysis, photoredox catalysis, and biohybrid systems, with applications in natural product synthesis and sustainability.

Education: PhD in Chemistry, trained at leading institutions (specific details not explicitly stated in provided texts).

Research interests span asymmetric catalysis (e.g., palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation, copper catalysis with nitro compounds), biohybrid systems (DNA/RNA hybrid catalysis), and sustainable synthesis. His lab has pioneered methods for functionalized allyl boranes, difluoromethylated heterocycles, and scalable photochemical processes. Key collaborations include industry partnerships with AstraZeneca, ORIL Industrie, and Sanofi Chimie.

Grants include funding for projects like radiopaque polymer development (£75k) and ADC linker design (£60k). Notable awards include the FRSC distinction. Supervised PhD students focus on topics like chiral heterocycles and sustainable chemistry. The Arseniyadis Lab hosts a dynamic team with active engagement in cutting-edge organic synthesis and catalytic innovation.

Lab facilities include advanced flow chemistry setups and 3D-printed reactors. Ongoing work emphasizes green methodologies and biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery via ultrasound-triggered composite droplets.
