معرفی
Sudipta Ponra is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Medicinal Chemistry, Uppsala University, Sweden, based at the Biomedicinskt Centrum (BMC) in Uppsala. Her work falls under the Drug Design and Discovery division within the university's research framework.
Her research centers on medicinal chemistry with emphases in organic synthesis, catalysis, and electrochemistry. She develops innovative methodologies for selective molecular transformations, particularly merging transition metal catalysis with electrochemical techniques to create efficient routes for pharmaceutical compound synthesis. This interdisciplinary approach bridges synthetic chemistry and drug discovery to address challenges in bioactive molecule development.
Her recent publication in Advanced Synthesis and Catalysis (2025) exemplifies her focus on sustainable reaction design, specifically regioselective chlorination of arenes using palladaelectro-catalysis in undivided cells. This work reflects broader trends in green chemistry by eliminating complex cell setups while maintaining precision, contributing to environmentally conscious synthetic strategies in medicinal chemistry.
