Welcome to Darragh
The group welcomes Darragh, who will be completing his one year MRes project in the group. Darragh will be investigating the stereoselective total synthesis of anti-malarial P-stereogenic natural products.
Dr Lorraine Bateman brings our sensor molecules to SMASH
Delighted to see our collaborator Dr Lorraine Bateman present our recent work (with Smital Patil and Dr Eimear Courtney) on the development of chiral sensors for 31P NMR measurement of enantiopurity at SMASH (Small Molecules Are Still Hot) in Porto.
