Today Kavya Gopakumar joins the AiRPaDD project network as Doctoral Candidate 2.
Born in India, she holds a MSC in Drug Discovery Science from the University of Sheffield (USFD, UK). Specialised in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery, her research in academia primarily revolved around the exploration of drug-like piperidine moieties, showcasing her in-depth understanding and experience in the field of organic synthesis. Within the AiRPaDD project, Kavya is poised to develop novel methods for synthesizing newly functionalised olefins. She will split her time between our academic partner USFD (UK) and industrial partner Astrazeneca (Sweden).
Welcome aboard, Kavya!
