Andrew Sutherland is currently working as a Reader in the Department of Chemistry
Research Interest
Research in the Sutherland group is focused on a number of key areas. Our main programme of research centres on molecular imaging of disease. We have a number of projects that develop novel PET and SPECT tracers for the radionuclide imaging of a range of neurological diseases as well as cancer. We are also investigating amino acid based fluorescent probes for cell imaging. Supporting these projects is a synthetic chemistry programme, which seeks to develop new transition metal catalysed transformations and one-pot multi-reaction processes for the rapid preparation of polycyclic drug-like scaffolds and natural products.
