Fredrik Schaufelberger is assistant professor of synthetic chemistry at the University of Warwick and KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

 

His group studies the use of the mechanical bond for applications in biomaterials and in chemical biology. Fredrik obtained his undergraduate degree from KTH (2007-2012), followed by PhD studies at the same university in the area of supramolecular and dynamic covalent chemistry with Olof Ramström. Following his dissertation, he moved to the group of David A. Leigh at the University of Manchester with a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship (2017-2020), where he studied functional molecular knots and chemically fuelled molecular assemblies such as rotaxanes. He then moved to the group of Molly M. Stevens at Imperial College London (2020-2021), working on biosensing and drug delivery. He started his independent career at KTH in 2021, and moved to Warwick in 2024.

 

He is a father of two young boys and is particularly engaged in questions of parenting and caregiving roles in academia, and in equal opportunities and widening participation questions.
