He led an independent research group at the University of Münster from 2016 to 2022, when he moved to Kiel University as professor for Organic Chemistry. Research in the van Gemmeren Lab focusses on the development of novel synthetic methods, typically based on C–H activation, that enable challenging transformations to proceed with catalyst-controlled reactivity and selectivity.
