Profile

Jack started off as an undergraduate at Newcastle University, completing his masters in Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry, before having a stint as a process chemist. Subsequently, he moved to undertake a PhD in Chemical biology under Prof. Glenn Burley at the University of Strathclyde. Here he focussed on developing peptidomimetics for application in Cell-Penetrating Peptides combining both synthetic chemistry and cell biology techniques. He moved to Dundee as part of the AC-Almirall team in April 2021 as a chemical biologist before joining the LITE team in January 2025. When not at work he enjoys a range of sports, primarily football and cricket, where he is unfortunate enough to follow his local team ‘Sunderland AFC’.
