Honoured to have just given the very last lecture of this academic year to our amazing year 3 cohort Chemistry at York - good luck in your exams everyone!

🔓Read this #OpenAccess paper by Philippe Compain, Dr Will Unsworth & co SYBIO Chemistry at York in our latest issue on expanding the scope of successive ring expansion strategy for macrocycle & medium-sized ring synthesis

The group's latest paper - A Feature Article on Cascade Ring Expansion reactions - is out today in Chemical Communications

Written together with current PhD students Jack Wootton and Jerry Tam Chemistry at York

I have a UK fully funded PhD opportunity with Tom Gale Faculty of Eng & Sci working on synthesis and biological evaluation of antimicrobial peptide natural product analogues for wound healing applications. Advert to follow shortly, but get in touch for more information.

Congratulations to Owen Hughes, final year PhD student in the Fascione group, jointly supervised by Dr Will Unsworth on his first paper, with contributions from Dr Joe Nabarro, a Fascione group PDRA and Chris Spicer (@ChemistryatYork). Worth a read in OBC #antibacterials

🔔Fully funded PhD Opportunity🔔

With me and Gideon Grogan Chemistry at York - using enzymes for novel small molecule oxidation reactions. Appointing a strong synthetic organic chemist is our #1 goal - biocat experience not needed. 🇬🇧 students only sorry

Following on from the UK Research and Innovation announcement, thrilled to share that our CDT in Chemical Synthesis for a Healthy Planet has been funded by the EPSRC. A joint centre between Oxford Chemistry and Green Chemistry York, the first students will start in October 2025.

Chemistry at York University of York is delighted to announce our success in being awarded TWO new #EPSRC_CDTs to train the next generation of green chemists Green Chemistry York . Well done to Prof Helen Sneddon Helen Sneddon & team, and our partners Newcastle Chemistry Oxford Chemistry 👏👏👏
