个人简介

BSc (Durham), PhD (Durham). Postdoctoral research: University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) 1988-90. Visiting Research Fellow: University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), 1991 and 1992. Lecturer in Medicinal Chemistry : Aston University 1990-93

研究领域

Our research group has interests in synthetic and biological chemistry encompassing methodology, target synthesis, carbohydrate chemistry of various types including oligosaccharide synthesis, biocatalysis and heterocycle chemistry, and also interests in novel dendrimer material synthesis. The group currently comprises a mixture of PDRAs and research students and is based in the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology. Carbohydrates and Oligosaccharides: We have active interests in developing new methods to provide biologically-relevant oligosaccharides, with a focus on tools to probe chemical biology and for biomedical targets. Particularly significant interests are in the synthetic heparin oligosaccharide area where we have recently reported the a large jump in synthetic scalability for long heparins, a new accelerated block synthesis and have also developed the longest synthetic sequcnes yet reported. Biocatalysis: Collaboration with Prof Nigel Scruttons lab discoivering, developing, engineering and applying new enzyme catalysis for high valuae chemical synthesis, using screening, engineering and synthetic biology. Heterocycles: Oligo-heterocyclic synthesis and biological activities (eg DNA ligands). Dendrimers, polyaryls and nanographene: New arhcitectures based on polaryles and their applicatyions nanographenes.
