Marc Nazare studied chemistry at the University of Karlsruhe and obtained his PhD in organic chemistry with Herbert Waldmann in the field of natural product total synthesis in 1999. He then joined pharmaceutical industry at Sanofi in Frankfurt as a medicinal chemist. In 2013, Dr. Nazaré started a medicinal chemistry group at the Leibniz Research Institute for Molecular Pharmacology FMP. His current research interests are focused on the design and optimization of chemical probes and imaging tools for chemical biology and translational applications.
