个人简介

Professor Potter studied chemistry at Oxford, completing his DPhil on the stereochemistry of enzyme-catalysed phosphoryl transfer, developing the [16O,17O,18O] oxygen chiral phosphate approach. After postdoctoral positions at Oxford and at the Max-Planck-Institute for Experimentelle Medizin in Germany, as Royal Society European Exchange Fellow, he became Lecturer in Biological Chemistry at Leicester University, winning a Lister Institute Fellowship, and later moving to the Established Chair of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Bath as Head of Section. He has been a Wellcome Trust Senior Investigator since 2013 and in 2015 was appointed Professor of Medicinal and Biological Chemistry in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Oxford.

研究领域

All work concerns the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of active organic molecules at the interfaces of Chemistry & Biology, ultimately aimed at the dissection of biological mechanisms through chemical biological intervention and molecular biology or, at the interface of Chemistry & Medicine, through intelligent drug design & discovery with the aim of moving translationally from 'concept to clinic'. A unifying general theme is centred around cellular signalling processes and concerns both entities involved in endocrine signalling and its modulation in oncology and endocrinology, as well as the chemistry of signal transduction processes in particular, particularly those involving cyclitol and nucleotide-based second messengers signalling through the elevation of intracellular Ca2+. Synthetic chemistry is underpinned by biochemical assays, protein crystallography and by in silico computational design. Where possible, synthesized ligands are co-crystallized with relevant binding proteins for structure-based design in both broad areas. The work is highly collaborative and international.
