A scientific lecture presented by Kyriacos C. Nicolaou.
Professor K. C. Nicolaou has pioneered the study of the chemistry and biology of natural products and designed molecules encompassing total synthesis, solid phase chemistry, molecular design, combinatorial synthesis and biological investigations. In pursuing the total synthesis of natural products, he has sought new synthetic strategies and methods to solve the problems at hand, but also to remain as enabling technologies for chemistry, biology and medicine. He selects synthetic targets on the basis of novel molecular architecture, important biological activity and interesting mechanism of action. In addition to total synthesis, his research group is interested in the discovery and development of new solution and solid phase reactions for the purposes of delivering novel molecular diversity libraries for biological evaluation. Merging natural products chemistry, chemical synthesis and chemical biology, these principles form the foundation for his group's research and educational programs. Prof. Nicolaou has published more than 550 research articles, holds 79 patents and has authored three books. He has received numerous awards, recognitions and memberships. He is a member of the US National Academy of Sciences and has been awarded eight honorary doctorates.
