He successfully defended his thesis in August 2021, and in September 2021 he began working at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, where he has been working as an assistant professor since 2022. His research focuses on the preparation of kynurenic acid (KYNA) derivatives, either by modifying their synthesis or through further transformations of the products (in modified Mannich reactions or aza-Friedel-Crafts reactions). His research also includes the synthesis of polycyclic, potentially anti-tumour and G-quadruplex binding phenanthrene derivatives, as well as the preparation of antiarrhythmic iodinated benzyloxyalkylamines. To date, his results have been published in 21 foreign-language publications and one patent application.
