Ulrich Koert
Ulrich Koert (born April 29, 1961 ) is a German chemist (synthetic organic chemistry ) and professor at the Philipps University of Marburg .
Koert studied chemistry at the University of Frankfurt with a diploma in 1985 and a doctorate in 1988 with Gerhard Quinkert (a contribution to the synthesis of (+) - tylonolide) and was a post-doctoral student with Jean-Marie Lehn at the University of Strasbourg for two years . From 1990 he worked as a research assistant in Marburg, where he completed his habilitation in 1994. He then became Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich (C 3 professorship) and from 1996 Professor (C 4) of Bioorganic and Organic Chemistry at the Humboldt University of Berlin and from 2001 Professor of Organic Chemistry in Marburg. In 2013 he became vice president of the university (among other things for research).
He deals with the total synthesis of natural and active substances, functional molecules on surfaces and interfaces (such as synthetic ion channels, porins ) and molecular switches and signal transmission via conformational changes.
In 1998 he received the Otto Bayer Prize . He was the youngest laureate to date and received the award for the construction of complex molecular architectures similar to those inside cells, which after the laudation expanded the basic understanding of biology.
