Clemens Lamberth was a senior principal scientist in the chemical research department of Syngenta Crop Protection AG (Switzerland) until his retirement in May 2024. He studied chemistry at the Technical University of Darmstadt (Germany), where he obtained his Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Bernd Giese in 1990. Subsequently, he spent one and a half years as a postdoctoral fellow in the group of Prof. Mark Bednarski at the University of California at Berkeley (USA). In 1992, he joined the agrochemical research department of Sandoz Agro AG (Switzerland), which is today, after two mergers, part of Syngenta Crop Protection AG. He is specialized in fungicide discovery and is the inventor of the fungicide mandipropamid. He is the author of more than 100 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters, 150 patents, and (co-)edited the three Wiley-VCH books ?Bioactive Heterocyclic Compound Classes? (2012), ?Bioactive Carboxylic Compound Classes? (2016), and ?Modern Crop Protection Compounds, 4th Edition? (2025).
