Biography
Bernhard Breit studied chemistry at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany with Professor Regitz. After postdoctoral training with Professor Trost at Stanford University, he worked in Marburg, Germany, with Professor RW Hoffmann to obtain his habilitation in 1998. In 1999 he was appointed as an Associate Professor at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. Since 2001 he has been a full Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg i. Brsg. His research interests focus on the exploration and development of catalytic methods for organic synthesis. He is the author of more than 190 publications. He has been a visiting professor at Harvard and Stanford University at the University of Strasbourg.
Research Interest
His current research focuses on Chemical Epigenetics that deals with epigenetic mechanisms in a biological and medicinal chemistry, structural biochemistry and bioinformatics in a highly synergistic manner.
