René Peters is professor for Organic Chemistry at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. He studied chemistry at the RWTH Aachen (Germany) and received his doctoral degree in 2000 under supervision of Prof. Dieter Enders. For his postdoctoral studies he joined the group of Prof. Yoshito Kishi at Harvard University, USA. Afterwards, he worked for three years as a process research chemist at F. Hoffmann-La Roche in Basel, Switzerland. In 2004, he joined the faculty of ETH Zürich as assistant professor and since 2008 he holds his current position. His research efforts are mainly directed towards the development of efficient catalytic asymmetric methodologies, in particular using cooperative catalysis.
