Prof Vyacheslav Filichev MSc, PhD

Professor in Chemistry

Doctoral Supervisor
School of Natural Sciences

Scientific curiosity and passion have driven my academic career and enabled me to become an expert in the physico-chemical analysis of many different DNA secondary structures, such as duplexes, triplexes and G-quadruplexes. My work on highly-specific flexible intercalating units embedded into DNA led to the discovery of a novel class of molecules (twisted intercalating nucleic acid, TINA) that enables formation of stable DNA triplexes or G-quadruplexes. This work has laid the foundation for the 1st Platform.

My interest in development of novel tools for chemists inspired by Nature is behind the research on DNA-based chiral catalysis (Platform 2), while my research activity in the field of assembly of organic chromophores on the DNA scaffold is behind the project on DNA-based low-energy photon upconverters (Platform 3).

My knowledge in the functionalisation and manipulation of DNA on the pre- and post-synthetic level is pivotal for the success of these projects.
