A synthetic chemist by background, gaining his PhD from the University of Exeter (1995) in the group of Professor Stanley M. Roberts. He received his postdoctoral training in the medicinal chemistry group of Professor Chris McGuigan working on the development of nucleotide prodrugs at the University of Wales, Cardiff (1995-1998) before joining the group of Professor Jaume Vilarrasa at the University of Barcelona as a member of a European TMR network designing new asymmetric catalysts (1998-2000).
He later gained industrial expertise in chemoenzymatic synthesis within a small UK-based biotech contract research and development company (2000-2005) before moving to GlaxoSmithKline where he focussed on the identification, development and scale-up of biocatalytic processes (2005-2016).
A co-editor of the “Practical Methods for Biocatalysis and Biotransformations” book series (2010-Current), he has since taken up a P-Sphere Postdoctoral Fellowship position at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona funded through the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 665919.
