Professor Andre Cobb

Professor Andre Cobb is a Professor of Organic Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at King's College London. His research interests include asymmetric synthesis, organocatalysis, foldamer design and synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and total synthesis. He has led the development of asymmetric methodologies towards biologically inspired molecules since 2005, focusing on the synthesis of unnatural amino acids, mono and diterpenes, steroids, alkaloids, and nucleoside frameworks using organocatalytic approaches. His work has been supported by funding from EPSRC, BBSRC, MRC, CR-UK, the Leverhulme Trust, the Royal Society, and industry partners. He is also an Associate Editor for the Royal Society of Chemistry’s New Journal of Chemistry.
