Aaron Beeler's Biography

Aaron Beeler, Assistant Professor, Boston University

Aaron Beeler received his B.Sc. in biology from Belmont University in 1998. In 2002 he earned a Ph.D. in medicinal chemistry at the University of Mississippi under the mentorship of John Rimoldi. He then joined the group of John Porco, Jr. as a postdoctoral fellow eventually moving into the Center for Chemical Methodology and Library Development at Boston University, now the Center for Molecular Discovery (BU-CMD). He served as the Associate Director until 2012 at which point he joined the Department of Chemistry at Boston University as an Assistant Professor. Aaron’s multidisciplinary educational and research background has translated to his independent research. His group is active in developing technology and reactions for the synthesis and medicinal chemistry of molecules that may be powerful tools to better understand biological processes important to human health and has a particular focus on leveraging flow chemistry to enable challenging photochemical transformations.
