Biography
Dr. Jaywant Phopase is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM), at the Linköping University in Sweden. He has a PhD in Synthetic Chemistry from Technische Universität Wien, Austria. His areas of expertise are biomaterials for regenerative medicine, medicinal chemistry and peptidomimetics. He has developed novel “NXO” peptide building blocks that can be used for controllable self-assembly for a range of peptides. These NXO-amino acids are valuable as building blocks that can be efficiently integrated into peptide fragments using both conventional liquid phase peptide synthesis and solid supported synthesis protocols. Dr. Phopase completed a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the National Institute for Cellular Biotechnology and School of Chemical Sciences, at Dublin City University in Ireland, and prior to that, he was at the Institute of Applied Synthetic Chemistry, Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien). Dr. Phopase also worked as a research associate at the New Drug Discovery Division of Glenmark Pharmaceuticals in Navi Mumbai, India, before that he was a chemist at Cipla Pharmaceuticals (India’s second largest pharmaceutical company).
