Jamie Ludwig, PhD - Drexel Chemistry Prof

Jamie Ludwig, PhD

Assistant Teaching Professor
Department of Chemistry

Education:

  • PhD, Organic Chemistry, UT Southwestern Medical Center
  • BA, Chemistry, Illinois Wesleyan University

Research Interests:

We are interested in the discovery and optimization of biocatalytic transformations for use inorganic synthesis. We utilize a library of marine derived bacteria that are prolific natural productproducers. By using substrates that are labeled with NMR active isotopes (13C, 19F), we cantrack transformations and identify synthetically useful transformations.
