Natural Product Synthesis
Project Summary. This PhD studentship will be focused on the biomimetic total synthesis of complex natural products. The chemical feasibility of proposed biosynthetic pathways towards biologically active diterpene structures will be investigated. Read more
A mechanism-led approach to reaction prediction
Background. The ab initio prediction of chemical behaviour has long been a holy grail for synthetic chemists as it will allow the targeting of the most efficient pathways to prepare high value commodity compounds. Read more
Supramolecular sensors for neurotransmitters
Neurological diseases are a leading cause of disability worldwide. Neurotransmitters (e.g. dopamine) are key molecules in neuronal communication, making their detection and quantification vital for medical diagnostics and therapeutics. Read more
Topological molecules for semiconducting materials
Lightweight and flexible, organic semiconducting materials are integral to next-generation electronic devices, including wearable sensors and foldable displays. Read more
Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis for the Functionalisation of Complex Organic Molecules
