Flavin-Based Catalysis

Radek Cibulka is Full Professor and Head of the Department of Organic Chemistry at the University of Chemistry and Technology (UCT) in Prague, Czech Republic. He has authored over 60 scientific publications and received numerous scientific awards, including "Alfred Bader Prize", which is given by the Czech Chemical Society and the Alfred Bader Foundation to young scientists under 35 years. His research interests lie in chemistry and photochemistry of flavins and their application in organo- and photocatalysis.
