Kartika, Rendy - Louisiana State University

个人简介

Rendy Kartika was born and raised in Malang, Indonesia. After graduating from Kolese Santo Yusup Catholic High School, Rendy moved to the USA. He attended Cal Poly Pomona University and graduated with a B.S. in chemistry in Spring 2003. Rendy was introduced to organic chemistry research in Prof. Douglas Klumpp’s laboratory, and his undergraduate thesis described the use of superacid to generate superelectrophilic dicationic species from simple organic compounds, such as cinnamic acid and its derivatives. He then continued his studies in chemistry at the University of Notre Dame, completing his doctoral work in organic synthesis under the direction of Prof. Richard Taylor in September 2008. Rendy’s graduate dissertation included synthetic methods development, such as the electrophile induced ether-transfer reaction, and its application in total synthesis directed towards polyketide natural products. He joined Prof. David Spiegel’s group at Yale University in October 2008, and worked on the chemical synthesis of advanced glycation endproducts and structurally diverse amidine oligomers. Rendy joined the faculty of the department of chemistry at LSU as an assistant professor in August 2011. He immensely enjoys college football and fishing in his spare time, thus making LSU and Baton Rouge a perfect place for him to work and live in for many years to come.

研究领域

Natural product chemistry, total synthesis, synthetic methodology, asymmetric synthesis, carbo- and heterocycles synthesis, diversity-oriented synthesis Natural products are chemical entities produced by organisms as secondary metabolites. Their structural complexity is considered privileged as they have been assembled and modified by evolution. Thus, natural products often exhibit very specific biological functions, making them highly relevant in modern drug discovery. In fact, over 70% of all newly approved small-molecule chemical entities ranging from antibacterial to anticancer drugs in the past 30 years have been derived from natural products. Research in natural product chemistry is an essential component of the Kartika group. We primarily focus on organic syntheses, particularly in the development of novel synthetic methodology and application in total synthesis of natural products. A few examples of biologically active natural products of interest in the Kartika group are depicted below.
