Meet Our Editorial Board Member Dr. Josef Jampilek Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Comenius University in Bratislava, Bratislava, Slovak Republic Prof. Josef Jampilek has been working for several entities in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic as a senior scientist, a group leader, or a department head in recent years. Prof. Jampilek obtained his M.Sc. degree in Pharmacy at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Charles University (Czech Republic) in 2000, and completed his Ph.D. degree in Medicinal Chemistry at the same faculty in 2004. During 2004-2011, he worked in expert and managerial posts in the R&D Division of the pharmaceutical company Zentiva (Czech Republic). Prof. Jampilek deepened his professional knowledge at the Medicinal Chemistry Institute of the Heidelberg University (Germany) and at multiple specialized courses in the field of medicinal and analytical chemistry, clinical drug trial, QA/QP, GxP for R&D of drugs, etc. Since 2006, Prof. Jampilek also started working at the Department of Chemical Drugs of the Faculty of PharJosef Jampilek macy of the University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brno (Czech Republic), where he became an Associate Professor of Medicinal Chemistry in 2009. Since 2016, he has been working at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Comenius University in Bratislava (Slovak Republic), where he was designated as a Full Professor of Medicinal Chemistry by the President of the Slovak Republic in 2017. He became the Head of the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, a guarantor and the Chairman of the Doctoral Study Board for Medicinal Chemistry. He is also an external consultant (troubleshooting, portfolio care, QbD, CQA) in pharmaceutical companies in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. Prof. Jampilek is an author/co-author of more than 30 patents/patent applications, more than 160 peer-reviewed scientific publications (h-index is 24 according to Web of Science Core Collection), 7 university textbooks, 20 chapters in monographs, and many invited lectures at international conferences. In addition, Prof. Jampilek is a visiting professor at the University of Silesia in Katowice (Poland) and an invited professor at various higher educational institutions, like University of Sydney (NSW, Australia), University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), Key Laboratory of Chemistry for Natural Products of Guizhou Province and Chinese Academy of Sciences (Guiyang, China), Hong Kong Baptist University (Hong Kong SAR China), etc. He is also an invited speaker at seminars of the State Institute for Drug Control of the Czech Republic in Prague and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in Washington. He was a principal investigator of several finished projects, such as GACR, FRVS, IGA VFU, and Sanofi research projects; a team member of several other grants, e.g. GAUK, IGA VFU, TACR, APVV, MSMT, and several international educational and research projects, including European and Polish ones. Prof. Jampilek also received several awards for his scientific results, e.g., from Aventis, Elsevier, Willey, and Sanofi. He cooperates with colleagues from all over the world, e.g., from Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Spain, Ireland, India, China, Hong Kong, Argentina, Australia, and USA. The research interests of Prof. Jampilek include design, synthesis and structure-activity relationships of heterocyclic compounds as anti-infectious and antiproliferative agents, and photosynthesis inhibitors. He is also interested in ADME, drug bioavailability, drug polymorphism, nanoparticles, pharmaceutical analysis, and solid-state analytical techniques.
