Maciej Giedyk, born in 1988, graduated with a Master's of Engineering degree in chemistry from the Warsaw University of Technology, Poland, in 2012. He completed his PhD studies at the Institute of Organic Chemistry Polish Academy of Sciences under the supervision of Professor Dorota Gryko in 2016, working on the synthesis and catalytic properties of vitamin B12 derivatives. In 2018, he took up a postdoctoral position in the group of Professor Burkhard König at Regensburg University. Since 2019, he has been an assistant professor at the Institute of Organic Chemistry Polish Academy of Sciences.
Awards
In May 2017, Maciej Giedyk received the W. Swietoslawski Award of the Warsaw Division of the Polish Chemical Society for outstanding achievements in science. In 2016 he was awarded a START stipend for young researchers, granted by the Foundation for Polish Science. He has also received the J. Janikowa Award of the Polish Chemical Society for the best Master Thesis 2012 in the field of chemistry.
Focus
Maciej Giedyk conducts research in the field of organic chemistry. His interests include the chemistry of radicals, cobalt catalysis, microheterogenous solutions and light-induced processes.

Photoredox catalysis has developed into a powerful tool for the synthesis of organic compounds with diverse structures. However, the high stability of carbon-chloride bonds has long (…)
From experience, driving through the city centre takes longer than covering the same distance on an open country road. After all, you will encounter a lot of other road users, red lights, road works and traffic jams in the city centre. Conversely, if you want to find out how busy a road is ... more
Structure of central inflammation switch elucidated
Researchers at the Universities of Bonn and Regensburg have elucidated the structure of a central cellular inflammatory switch. Their work shows which site of the giant protein called NLRP3 inhibitors can bind to. This opens the way to develop new pharmaceuticals that could target inflammat ... more
Cellular stress causes cancer cell chemoresistance
Resistance of cancer cells against therapeutic agents is a major cause of treatment failure, especially in recurrent diseases. An international team around the biochemists Robert Ahrends from the University of Vienna and Jan Medenbach from the University of Regensburg identified a novel mec ... more
Micelles as a reaction environment
Photoredox catalysis has developed into a powerful tool for the synthesis of organic compounds with diverse structures. However, the high stability of carbon-chloride bonds has long hampered the use of cheap and readily available chloroalkanes as substrates. more
There is barely a class of compounds among the secondary metabolites of plants that is so prominently represented in our lives as that of the flavonoids. They are found in numerous food substances in various oxidation states, and principally as glycosides (Fig. 1). By consuming fruit, vege ... more
Burkhard König, born in 1963, received his Ph.D. in 1991 from the University of Hamburg. He continued his scientific education as a post-doctoral fellow with Prof. M. A. Bennett, Research School of Chemistry, Australian National University, Canberra, and Prof. B. M. Trost, Stanford Universi ... more
born 1966, studied pharmacy at the Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf and received his licence to practise in 1991. From 1991 – 1992, he worked as a pharmacist in the Löwen-Apotheke in Mülheim an der Ruhr. After receiving his doctorate in 1997 from the Chair in Pharmaceutical Biology at t ... more
