Research:
Bastien Castagner obtained a Ph.D. in Chemistry at Columbia University in New York in 2004. His postdoctoral years were spent at ETH Z眉rich from 2005 - 2008. From 2009 - 2014 he was a Group Leader in the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences at ETH Z眉rich. He joined the Department of Pharmacology & Therapeutics at 不良研究所 in 2014 and was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor in 2020.
Dr. Castagner鈥檚 research focuses on the design of small-molecules and natural product analogues as novel drug candidates. He is especially interested in the chemistry and biology of inositol phosphates and carbohydrates. His group has been involved in novel strategies to inactivate the toxins responsible for the pathogenesis of Clostridioides difficile. He is also interested in the human gut microbiota and how molecules can impact its composition and metabolism, for the benefit of the host (us!).
