Bernd Giese
Bernd Giese(born 2 June 1940) is a German chemist and guest professor inchemistryat theUniversity of FribourginFribourg,Switzerland since 2010.[1]
Biography
[edit]Born inHamburg,Germany, Giese received his PhD from theUniversity of MunichunderRolf Huisgenin 1969.[a]From 1969 to 1971 he worked in pharmaceutical research atBASFin Ludwigshafen. He obtained hisHabilitationfrom theUniversity of Freiburgin 1976. From 1977 to 1988 he was full professor at theTechnical University of Darmstadt[2]and from 1989 to 2010 at theUniversity of Basel.[1]
Research
[edit]Giese specializes in the bio-organic chemistryand synthesis of radicals in biological systems.[3][4][5]He contributed to the understanding of radical inducedDNAcleavage and of the DNA synthesis byribonucleotide reductase.[6]He discovered that long range charge transfer through DNA and Peptides occurs by a hopping mechanism.[6][7][8]The formation of carbon–carbon bonds by addition of free radicals toalkenesis called theGiese reaction.[9]Giese developed concepts, guidelines, and synthetic applications for the stereochemistry of radical reactions.[10]
