Dr. Lars Kattner,
Managing Director

Lars Kattner founded Endotherm GmbH in 1999. He received his Ph.D. degree in Chemistry in 1991 from the Freie Universität Berlin (Germany) working with Prof. J. Mulzer on the development of novel stereoselective synthetic methods and their application to the synthesis of various natural products.

During a subsequent postdoctoral study with Dr. M.R. Uskokovic at the Medicinal Chemistry Department of Hoffmann-La Roche (Nutley, USA), he developed a new versatile methodology for the synthesis of vitamin D metabolites and steroids.

Afterwards, he joined the group of Prof. R.W. Hartmann at the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry of the Saarland University (Germany), where he has been involved in the development of new enzyme inhibitors to be used as potential drugs against hormone-mediated prostate cancer.
