Synthetic Methodology,
Flow Chemistry and Natural Product Synthesis 

Dr. Gnanaprakasam Boopathy was born (1979) and raised in Chennai, India. He earned his BS (1999) and MS (2001) in chemistry from the University of Madras. Then, he obtained his PhD (2008) on the topic of “Synthetic methods towards terpenoids, steroids and macrocycles” from Bhavnagar University. Subsequently, he has completed a couple of Post-Doctoral program from Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel (September 2008-August 2011) under Professor David Milstein and AVH fellow from Gottingen University, Germany (September 2012- February 2014) under Professor Lutz. F Tietze. Prior to AVH post-doctoral fellowship, he joined as a scientist at ICES-ASTAR, Singapore (December 2012-July 2013). After Post-Doctoral program, he began his independent career as an Associate professor at SRM Research Institute (March 2014-June 2014). In late 2014, he moved to IISER Pune in the department of chemistry where he currently holds the rank of Associate Professor. The Gnanaprakasam group’s research interests include development of metal catalyzed sustainable/green synthetic methods for the natural products, continuous flow synthetic methodology for bioactive molecules and Fluorinated organic scaffold.
