Kyle F. Biegasiewicz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Emory University. Kyle received his Bachelor of Science (BS) in Chemistry from Niagara University in 2010, conducting undergraduate research with Professor Ronny Priefer, where he established a general approach for the synthesis of the isoflavone class of natural products. He then pursued graduate studies in synthetic organic chemistry with Professor Robert K. Boeckman, Jr. at the University of Rochester.  His graduate studies featured the development of an organocatalyzed asymmetric hydroxymethylation reaction that ultimately enabled a gram-scale synthesis of the apoptosis inducer (-)-rasfonin.  Upon completion of his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Chemistry, he moved to Princeton University as Postdoctoral Research Associate with Professor Todd K. Hyster.  His postdoctoral work involved the expansion of the synthetic repertoire of redox active enzymes through photon-driven excitation. Kyle joined Emory University in 2023 and his lab is broadly interested in the application of enzymes for solving longstanding challenges in chemical synthesis.
