Professor of Organic Chemistry, Deputy Head of Chemistry (Research)
One of the main interests in our research group is the total synthesis of natural products. Most of these natural product targets possess interesting or useful biological and pharmacological activities. Some examples of natural products synthesised by our group include acetogenins, lupin alkaloids, terpenoids and furofuran lignans.
