BUTLER, STEPHEN - Loughborough University

个人简介

Stephen J. Butler studied undergraduate Chemistry at Warwick University, finishing top of his year in 2004. After a brief spell in the polymer industry, he migrated to Sydney and studied a PhD with Prof. Katrina Jolliffe, funded by a prestigious Sydney University International Scholarship. This work focused on molecular recognition using synthetic cyclic peptides. Following the award of his PhD in 2010, he undertook postdoctoral work with Prof. Richard Payne, studying chemokine interactions using peptide-based probes. He then returned to the UK to work with Prof. David Parker FRS, creating highly emissive lanthanide complexes for bioactive analyses. In 2013 he was awarded a Ramsay Memorial Fellowship to develop fluorescent probes for the detection of biologically important anions. Stephen was appointed as Lecturer in Organic Chemistry at Loughborough University in June 2015. His research interests are in the synthesis of designed molecules, capable of sensing biological substrates.

We are particularly interested in developing luminescent molecular sensors for the detection of bioactive anions, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), phosphorylated peptides and proteins, and anionic pollutants (e.g. fluoride).
