Profile
He started off as an undergraduate at Newcastle University, studying Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry, before a stint working as a process chemist. He then 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 now hopes to gain experience in drug discovery with the vastly growing and exciting PROTAC technology. 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’.
