Postdoctoral Research Associate

Dr. Jiacheng Li is a Postdoctoral Research Associate working with Prof. Gideon Grogan and Dr. Will Unsworth at the York Structural Biology Laboratory and Chemistry. He completed his DPhil in Organic Chemistry from the Monash University in 2023. Previously, Jiacheng worked on photoredox catalysis and EDA complex reactions under blue LED light in Philip Chan’s group at Monash University. Currently, Jiacheng’s project is focusing on preparative scale reactions in small molecular complex and pharmaceutical targets synthesis by using Unspecific Peroxygenases (UPOs) catalyst.
