Gal Reddy Potuganti received his Master of Science Degree in Organic Chemistry from Osmania University, Hyderabad, India, in 2013. I am an early career researcher (ECR), awarded a Ph.D. degree in the field of Organic Chemistry at CSIR-IICT, Hyderabad, India, in 2021. During my PhD research, I have demonstrated the ability for consistent, high-quality research through the publication of nine peer-reviewed international publications. My doctoral research mainly focused on multicomponent approaches: access to fused and spiro heterocyclic compounds catalyzed by copper salts. Later, I worked as an Associate Scientist at Aragen Life Sciences Private Limited. My principal responsibility is estimation and preparation of quotes for the synthesis of various project targets. Synthesis, purification, and identification of chemical intermediates and target compounds on milli-gram to gram scale. Currently, I am a post-doctoral researcher at the Biodesign Center for Bioenergetics at Arizona State University, Tempe, United States of America, working primarily with Prof. Sidney Hecht. My research focuses on the design and synthesis of non-canonical activated amino acids, which are for incorporated into proteins.
