The Editorial Board of the Russian Journal of Organic Chemistry introduces a new foreign member of the
Editorial Board of the Journal - Antonio M. Echavarren (Spain) and new
foreign members of the International Advisory Board of the Journal -
Igor V. Alabugin (USA) and Svetlana B. Tsogoeva (Germany)
Antonio M. Echavarren
(Spain)
Antonio M. Echavarren was born in Bilbao and obtained his PhD at the
Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM, 1982). After a postdoctoral stay
in Boston College he joined the UAM as an Assistant Professor (1984-
1986). Following a two years period as a NATO-fellow at the Colorado
State University, he joined the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the CSIC
in Madrid, where he stayed until 1992. That year he returned to the UAM as
a Professor of Organic Chemistry. He is also CISC Professor of Research
since 2004. He moved in 2004 to Tarragona as a Group Leader at the
Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ).
Prof. Echavarren is the author of more than 270 scientific publications
and has supervised 50 PhD Thesis, and 60 postdoctoral associates. He has
been Liebig Lecturer (German Chemical Society, 2006), Abbot Lecturer in
Organic Chemistry (University of Illinois at Urbana-Campaign, 2009),
Schulich Visiting Professor (Technion, Haifa, 2011), Sir Robert Robinson
Distinguished Lecturer (University of Liverpool, 2011), Novartis Lecturer
in Organic Chemistry (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015). In has
been awarded two European Research Council Advanced Grants (2013 and
2019). He received the 2004 Janssen-Cylag Award in Organic Chemistry
and the 2010 Gold Medal of the Royal Spanish Chemical Society. In 2015
he received an Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award from the American Chemical
Society. He is the current President of the Spanish Royal Society of
Chemistry.

Igor V. Alabugin
(USA)
Igor V. Alabugin received his undergraduate training (1986-1991) and
his Ph.D. degree (1995 with N.S. Zefirov, N.V. Zyk, and V.K. Brel’) from
the Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia. After a postdoctoral
study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (with H.E. Zimmerman),
professor Alabugin joined the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
of Florida State University in 2000, where he is currently the Cottrell
Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Professor Alabugin research uncovers new connections between
chemical structure and reactivity. In particular, his fundamental studies of
stereoelectronic effects led to the development of new reactions for
selective DNA cleavage in cancer cells, functionalization of nano-
materials, and construction of carbon-rich molecules. He has published
over 160 peer-reviewed research articles, wrote a book “Stereolectronic
Effects: the Bridge between Structure and Reactivity”, and have given
over 220 talks at conferences, universities and industries.
He is a Fulbright Fellow and a AAAS Fellow. He also serves as a
reviewer for 89 scientific journals and on the editorial board of four
journals.

Svetlana B. Tsogoeva
(Germany)
Svetlana B. Tsogoeva is Professor of Organic Chemistry at the
Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, since
February 2007. She received her Diploma in Chemistry with Distinction
in 1995 from St. Petersburg State University, where she completed her
doctoral thesis in 1998 on the “Synthesis of Modified Analogues of
Steroid Estrogens” supported by Procter & Gamble. In 1998, she moved
to the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main, Germany,
for a postdoctoral project under the sponsorship of the DFG (Graduate
School “Chemische und Biologische Synthese von Wirkstoffen”), where
she was dealing with the synthesis of chiral amidinium ions and their
application as organocatalysts for the preparation of
(+)-estrone
derivatives using Diels-Alder reactions.
In July 2000 she joined the Degussa AG Fine Chemicals Division in
Hanau-Wolfgang, Germany as a research scientist, where she has been
working on the synthesis and the application of new oligopeptide
catalysts for the enantioselective Julia-Colonna asymmetric epoxidation
of olefins. In January 2002 she was appointed a First Junior Professor in
Germany at the Georg-August-University of Göttingen, where she establi-
shed her own research group supported by BMBF, DFG, FCI and
Degussa AG. Her research is currently focused on asymmetric organo-
catalysis, one-pot & domino processes, deracemization of chiral bioactive
compounds by autocatalytic crystallization, synthesis of artemisinin-
derived hybrids for medicinal chemistry, as well as chemistry in live cells.
