I received an MChem from the University of Bath and obtained my PhD under the supervision of Professor Paul Raithby and Professor Matthew Davidson, also at Bath. I began my research career working as a crystallographer for Pfizer in Sandwich.  I have now been at Pfizer for 10 years and am currently working in Pharmaceutical Sciences. I mostly work on developing dosage forms for drug candidates. This includes using molecular modelling, obtaining crystallographic data and statistical analyses of structural information to design a program of action and guide dosage form development for these projects as well as guiding the experimental screening, characterisation and analysis of these candidates. This can be on candidates from early research (before first in human studies) through to Phase III clinical trial candidates. I am Chair of the British Crystallographic Association Industrial Group, a chartered member of the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 and sit on the Diamond Light Source (Synchrotron) Industrial Science Committee.

After training as a synthetic organic chemist at Oxford (BA), City (PhD) and Sussex (Post-Doc) universities I worked as a medicinal chemist in R&D in a range of industries for over 25 years, in scientific & project leadership roles and as a team manager. The companies were Glaxo, Shell, AstraZeneca and Medimmune in the pharma, biotech and crop protection sectors. My work has led to over 60 publications, patents and conference presentations. The therapy areas I have worked in have covered antimicrobial, antiviral, inflammation & respiratory (COPD, Asthma, RA, OA), inhaled and oral drugs and small peptides for metabolic diseases. The biological targets have included both receptors and enzymes such as GPCR & chemokine antagonists and lipase & protease inhibitors. The medicinal chemistry campaigns that I have led (in both LI and LO) have resulted in some 10 candidate drugs being identified for clinical development (several in Phase II). Since 2012 I have worked as an independent drug discovery consultant through my own company (Medsyndesign Ltd) and I have consulted for a range of small companies and universities in several disease areas (CV, oncology and injectables).
