Stefan Brase studied chemistry in Bangor, UK, Marseille, France, and Gottingen, Germany, where he gained his doctorate under Armin de Meijere in 1995. After post-doctoral appointments at Uppsala University, Sweden under J.-E. Backvall and The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, USA with K. C. Nicolaou, he began his research career at the RWTH Aachen with Dieter Enders in 1997, obtaining his lecturing qualification in 2001. He became a professor at the University of Bonn that same year and since 2003 he has been Full Professor at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Professor Brase has more than 250 publications to his name and is a recipient of the ORCHEM award. His research interests include methods in drug discovery, combinatorial chemistry with a focus on the synthesis of biologically active compounds, total synthesis of natural products and nanotechnology.
Mathias Christmann studied chemistry at the Technical University of Braunschweig and received a Ph D from the Leibniz University of Hannover with Markus Kalesse. After postdoctoral research with Craig J. Forsyth at the University of Minnesota, USA, he joined the RWTH Aachen University as a Liebig Fellow of the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie, working towards his lecturing qualifi cation under Dieter Enders. In 2008, he was appointed Associate Professor at the Dortmund University of Technology, where he lectures in organic chemistry. Professor Christmann’s research interests include organocatalysis, natural products synthesis and sustainable chemistry.
