Amos Rosenthal

Dr. Rosenthal earned his Bachelor's Degree at the VU University Amsterdam in the laboratory of Professor Koop Lammertsma on the topic of phosphorous chemistry. He then moved to the University of California, Riverside in the laboratory of Professor Guy Bertrand to work on carbene chemistry. He earned his doctoral degree in organometallic chemistry from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich in the laboratory of Prof. Hansjörg Grützmacher, where he developed new ligands, coordinated them to various metals, and demonstrated catalytic activities. In his post-doctoral fellowship at Université Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier in the laboratory of Professor Didier Bourissou, he synthesized new radical phosphino boranes, which show a reversible dimerization, novel for boranes.

Dr. Rosenthal has authored several peer-reviewed publications, including a manuscript in Science. As Head of Chemistry, he leads the development of new target molecules from ideas to gram-scale proof-of-concept through to kilogram-scale commercial production.
