Organic Synthesis Group (Dr. Rafael Navrátil) ****************************************************************************************** * ****************************************************************************************** Dr. Rafael Navrátil group focuses on designing and developing innovative chemical reaction chemistry, for example selective functional group migrations which could simplify and acce development of new pharmaceuticals. The team focuses on developing innovative synthetic methods using transition metal catalys electrochemistry, with high potential for faster and more efficient drug discovery. Rafael Navrátil earned his Ph.D. at Charles University in Professor Roithová laboratory, d experimental methods based on mass spectrometry and ion spectroscopy to study ion photoche intermediates and reaction mechanisms. After his Ph.D., he conducted postdoctoral research Research, USA, focusing on electrochemical functionalization of unactivated C(sp?)–H bonds In 2023, he received the Junior Star grant of the Czech Science Foundation and established group at Charles University. He actively mentors students, fostering creativity, collabora independent development of young chemists. Learn more: Organic Synthesis Group [ URL "https://www.navratillab.com/"]
