Background

I am a Senior Research Associate in medicinal chemistry at the CRUK Drug Discovery Unit, Newcastle University Centre for Cancer. Working on the development of novel approaches to high value cancer targets with a focus on irreversible inhibition. I have delivered potent covalent inhibitors across three projects. My ambition is to establish an independent research group addressing challenging cancer and infection targets by developing novel covalent inhibitors. I have a record of outstanding research: 10 papers, 1 book chapter, 2 filed patent applications.

I joined the Newcastle Drug Discovery Group in 2019 as a medicinal chemist after completing my PhD at the University of Cambridge exploring the diversity-oriented synthesis of partially saturated bicyclic heteroaromatic scaffolds for drug discovery. .


Teaching

I teach first year undergraduate tutorials in Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry CHY1110.
