Regan Thomson

Regan Thomson is a Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University. His research pushes the boundaries of reaction design and applies it to drive the synthesis of complex biologically active molecules. As a Co-Founder and member MicroMGx’s board of directors, his insight as a synthetic organic chemist will guide the development of synthetic natural product analogs with improved activity and selectivity. The role of chemical synthesis in the commercialization of natural products with therapeutic activity is especially important because of current intellectual property policy, which severely limits protections on materials and compounds derived directly from nature.
