Honoured to have won this year's National Retrosynthesis Competition (UK Retrosynthesis Competition) representing the The Gaunt Group/Cambridge Chemistry .

Thank you to my fantastic teammates Francois, Markus, and Russell as well as the judges and organisers for making this event happen.

Huge congrats to PhD students Russell, Markus (Markus), Ryan (@RJDKang), and postdoc Francois (@FrichardChem) for winning the SCI-RSC retrosynthesis competition!

UK Retrosynthesis Competition Oxford Chemistry University of Oxford Fantastic result for Ed Anderson Group 🇺🇦 Oxford Chemistry members Hannah, Jisook, Pavle, and Yas!! Well done for the second year running!

Absolutely brilliant time sharing our work at the UK Retrosynthesis Competition finals yesterday- seeing so many different approaches to the same challenge was intense! I'm grateful that this many-month-long journey has taught me so much and that my team has been incredible the whole way!

Very proud PI ☺️

François (Francois Richard, Andy Lawrence postdoc, now with The Gaunt Group) and Martin (@CattoenM, first PhD student joining the group Chemistry_QMUL, now at AstraZeneca) got the🥇and🥈prize at the UK Retrosynthesis Competition with their respective teams 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

What an amazing day! In light of having enough time to edit the pictures sufficiently - and getting enough wine - we will tweet out the winners tomorrow! Congratulations to all contenders; it is a lot of work but as Kiri said earlier, we believe retrosynthesis is also fun!

We have had an amazing day at UK Retrosynthesis Competition! Here is a thread following all the teams' incredible efforts. Now we break for wine and once they make that tough decision, today's winning teams!
