个人简介

I am currently Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oxford and a fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford. Our research lies in the field of asymmetric synthesis and the application of stereoselective oxidation and reduction reactions to natural product synthesis. We have a burgeoning interest in the area of carbohydrates and the application of metathesis to the synthesis of heterocycles. My group currently consists of four post doctoral researchers, eleven D.Phil. students and four Part II students.

研究领域

Our research interests lie in synthetic organic chemistry, and the contribution this science can make to the fields of medicine and natural products synthesis. We concentrate on developing new catalytic reactions and methodologies for synthetic organic chemistry and then employing our chemistry to make biologically important natural products. Our work is directly relevant to the pharmaceutical industry and the research group is supported by many multi-national companies including AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, Lilly, Novartis and Pfizer.
