Biography
Dr. michael is a Senior Lecturer in New castle university department of Natural and Environmental Sciences. Research: ur research group is involved in the development of novel synthetic methodology and its application to the synthesis of biologically active targets, with current areas of investigation being directed towards the design of efficient asymmetric transformations. Fluorinated compounds are of particular interest as they have been shown to possess unique activity in vivo when compared to their non-fluorinated counterparts. A major goal of our research, through the preparation of selectively fluorinated compounds, is to determine why this is so.
Research Interest
My research background has centred on the discovery of new technologies in areas such as asymmetric catalysis, organometallic chemistry, total synthesis and radiopharmaceuticals.
