Biography
I am a Medicinal Chemist at Takeda (Shonan research center). Previously I worked in Taros Chemicals and as Postdoc at The University of Tokyo under the supervision of Prof. Shu Kobayashi developing new heterogeneous catalysts for organic transformations and flow chemistry for the preparation of bioactive compounds. My research during my PhD in Spain involved also the development of novel synthetic applications in carbohydrates, amino acids, peptides and alkaloids using tandem oxidative radical fragmentation methods for the synthesis of antitumor compounds.
