Jürgen Seibel (born 9 May 1971 in Eschwege, Hesse) is a German chemist. He is Professor of Organic Chemistry at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg
Seibel studied chemistry at the University of Göttingen from 1992 to 1997 and obtained his doctorate in 2000 under Lutz Friedjan Tietze at the Institute of Organic Chemistry there. The subject of his doctoral thesis was antibody-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of vitamin E.
In 2000 Seibel moved to Oxford University, where he conducted research at Dyson Perrins Laboratory.
From 2002 to 2009 he was a university assistant at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research and at the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy at the Technical University of Braunschweig, where he habilitated with the topic “Werkzeuge der Glycomics: Chemische und enzymatische Glycosylierungsmethoden zu Synthese und Nachweis biologisch relevanter Glycokonjugate” (Tools of Glycomics: Chemical and Enzymatic Glycosylation Methods for the Synthesis and Detection of Biologically Relevant Glycoconjugates). [1] In the same year he was appointed private lecturer.
Since 2009 he has been a professor at the Institute of Organic Chemistry at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg. [2]
Jürgen Seibel's main areas of work include the development of chemical and enzymatic syntheses, biocatalysis, protein engineering, drug delivery, sphingololipids and glycosciences. He also works on methods for bioorthogonal chemistry on living systems. He is the editor of the Journal of Nature Research C. [3]
