About
Dr. Astrid Boeijen is a leading figure in the field of peptidomimetic chemistry, with a primary research focus on the design and synthesis of foldamers and non-natural oligomers that mimic the structure and function of peptides. Her most significant contribution is the development of a robust, solid-phase synthesis strategy for oligourea peptidomimetics using the widely adopted Fmoc protection strategy. This seminal work, published in 2001 and garnering 84 citations, provided a convenient and general method for preparing the necessary building blocks, making these promising compounds accessible for use in standard peptide and automated synthesizers. By overcoming a key synthetic bottleneck, Dr. Boeijen’s research has enabled broader exploration of oligoureas as stable, bioactive scaffolds for drug discovery and biomaterials. Her work stands as a foundational achievement in the field, directly impacting the development of novel therapeutics and molecular tools.
