Christina Moberg (born 1947) is a Swedish chemist who is a professor of Organic Chemistry at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology. She was elected an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2017.




Early life and education


Moberg was born in Sweden. She attended Stockholm University for her graduate studies, where she studied chemistry and graduated in 1975. She completed her doctoral studies at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Her doctorate considered nickelocene, cobaltocene and cyclopentadienyl (tributylphosphine)-copper in organic synthesis. After earning her doctorate, Moberg moved to the Pierre and Marie Curie University (then University of Paris 6), where she worked with Jean Normant. She returned to the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in 1967, joining the laboratory of Björn Åkermark.




Research and career


In 1978, Moberg was appointed to the faculty at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, where she was promoted to Full Professor in 1997. Her research considers organic synthesis. She is particularly interested in asymmetric synthesis and the creation of molecules with non-superimposable mirror symmetry.
Alongside her work in asymmetric synthesis, Moberg is interested in supramolecular chemistry. In an interview with the European Academies' Science Advisory Council (EASAC), Moberg explained “... if you think of atoms as letters, then molecules are words. A supra-molecule is a whole sentence, because it’s made of separate molecules which interact,”.
