This year’s German-Japanese Symposium on Electrosynthesis 2023 (GJSE-10) celebrated their 10th anniversary and was held at the Raiosha building of Keio University in Japan. Prof. Dr. Till Opatz was invited to give a presentation on “Elementary Particles in Organic Chemistry” and Paul Eckhardt had the opportunity to present his work in an oral presentation. The conference featured various inspiring talks and poster presentations by Japanese and German participants.

Congratulations Dr. Leander!
Leander Geske successfully defended his PhD Thesis on 30.05.2023. He worked on the total synthesis of strychnine, finished the total synthesis of phenolic natural products from orchid plants and elucidated structures of biologically active natural products. We had a great day celebrating his defense and we wish him all the best for his future!
Kevin attended Irseer Naturstofftage 2023
Kevin Seipp had the opportunity to participate in this year’s 35th Irseer Naturstofftage (26.04–28.04.2023) with a poster presentation of his recent work. He enjoyed the inspiring discussions, all the positive feedback and is still impressed by the beautiful location of Kloster Irsee.
Eli attended ACS Spring 2023
Elisabeth Quraishi had the opportunity to present a poster showing work from her PhD thesis at this year’s ACS Spring Meeting (26.03–30.03.2023) of the American Chemical Society in Indianapolis, USA. She enjoyed to be part of a big community, sharing and discussing results of current research topics and exploring new technical innovations at the expo. We thank the VCI (Verband der Chemischen Industrie e.V.) for financial support on this journey.
Congratulations Dr. Philipp!
Philipp Klein successfully defended his dissertation on 01.03.2023. He synthesized and evaluated new cysteine protease inhibitors with electrophilic warheads and inhibitors of Tryparedoxin from Trypanosoma brucei. We wish you all the best for your future!
Congratulations Dr. Nina!
On 01.02.2023 Nina Vierengel successfully defended her PhD thesis. She synthesized functionalized macrolactones for the use in target identification. Furthermore, she elucidated and synthesized biologically active natural products. We wish you only the best for your future!
