معرفی
Steve Lanners is a researcher at the University of Namur, affiliated with the Unit of organic chemistry and associated institutes including the Namur Medicine & Drug Innovation Center and Namur Institute of Structured Matter. His work spans organic synthesis, crystallography, and medicinal chemistry.
Education:
- Doctor of Science, Université de Strasbourg (2005), thesis: Synthèse totale asymétrique de la pamamycine-607
Lanners specializes in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly natural products like pamamycin-607 and taxpropellane. His research includes structure-based drug design for anticoagulants targeting FXIIa, flow synthesis methodologies, and applications of cycloaddition reactions (e.g., Diels-Alder, Pauson-Khand). Recent projects focus on diterpenoid synthesis and coumarin derivatives for therapeutic applications.
His publications and datasets highlight expertise in crystal structure determination, asymmetric catalysis, and conformational analysis of bioactive compounds. Collaborations extend to institutions in Belgium, France, and the UK, with contributions to the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre.
Lanners has organized and presented at international conferences on topics such as chiral ligand design and synthetic approaches to neurotrophic factors. He supervises research projects related to drug discovery and structural chemistry, with active involvement in training and mentoring students.
