Morten Meldal is a Danish chemist and professor at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen. He was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, alongside Barry Sharpless and Carolyn Bartozzi, for the groundbreaking development of \u2018Click chemistry and biorthogonal chemistry\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout Meldal\u2019s career, his research has had innovative influences on methods in peptide and combinatorial chemistry. His involvement in method development of solid-phase and combinatorial peptide synthesis, as well as development of the CuAAc Click reaction, have become mainstream methods for application in bioorganic and organic synthesis. Meldal co-founded three companies \u2014 Combio, Versamatrix, and Betamab Therapeutics ApS \u2014 which utilized these platforms in biotechnological and pharmacological research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, he was honoured with the H. C. \u00d8rsted Gold Medal Gold Medal for outstanding contributions to chemistry by the Danish <\/strong>Society for the Dissemination of Natural Science.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
