Urban Milan Ph.D.
About me
I am a scientist in the field of medicinal chemistry with current focus on natural products with various biological activities. Since 2012 I am a leader of an independent research group that currently has 2 postdocs, 4 PhD and 8 undergraduate students. Our research consists of organic synthesis, evaluation of activities and mechanism of action. I have been a PI of several grant projects from Czech Science Agency and from the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic. Currently I serve on an evaluation panel of Czech Science Agency (P207). Earlier in my career, I was also involved in nucleic acid research, enzymology and biochemistry in general. In addition, I teach classes on bioorganic chemistry, chemical biology, and chemistry of nucleic acids. Published more than 40 papers, 3 book chapters, 4 patents, >1500 SCI citations, H-index 21.
