Prof. Dr. Svetlana B. Tsogoeva

Svetlana B. Tsogoeva is Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, since February 2007. She was born on February 18, 1973, studied chemistry at St. Petersburg State University, where she completed her doctoral thesis supported by Procter & Gamble on the “Synthesis of Modified Analogues of Steroid Estrogens” in 1998. Then, she moved to the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main, Germany, for a postdoctoral project under the sponsorship of the DFG (Graduate School "Chemische und Biologische Synthese von Wirkstoffen"), where she was dealing with the synthesis of chiral amidinium ions and their application as catalysts for the preparation of (+)-estrone derivatives using Diels-Alder reactions. In July 2000 she joined the Degussa AG Fine Chemicals Division in Hanau-Wolfgang, Germany as a research scientist, where she has been working on the synthesis and the application of new catalysts for the enantioselective Julia-Colonna asymmetric epoxidation of olefins. In January 2002 she was appointed a First Junior Professor in Germany at the Georg-August-University of Göttingen, where she established her own research group supported by BMBF, DFG, FCI and Degussa AG. Her research is currently focused on asymmetric organocatalysis, organo-autocatalysis, asymmetric oxidations with non-heme iron complexes, as well as synthesis of natural product hybrids for medicinal chemistry.
