Led by Daniel Seidel · Chemistry
What we study
The Seidel Lab creates new chemical methods to change C–H bonds and to run reactions that make molecules chiral, using simple starting materials. Their work aims to build complex nitrogen‑containing rings efficiently, with few protecting groups, for drug and material applications.
