Check out our latest publication 👇 describing a carbonyl fluoromethylative amination strategy to alpha-fluoromethyl amines using visible light 💡- #medchem-relevant products 💊 and simple conditions! Congrats to Patrick Deneny and Roopender Kumar 🎉 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…


Congratulations to @jhenryb62, Georgia Harris and Milo Smith on the publication of their work in JACS on a modular synthesis of alpha tertiary amine synthesis enabled by visible light photocatalysis. Great work all. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

If you are interested in a postdoc opportunity between AstraZeneca, my group & the iDMT in Chemistry Dept at Cambridge around the area of advancing high throughout experimentation develop innovative synthesis take a look at this advert. astrazeneca.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/Careers/job/UK… . Pls RT

"Science, like life, is as good as the people with whom one associates." I am very excited and looking forward to joining the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology UCL, UCL Chemistry, UCL Chemistry and Light as a Group Leader and Lecturer in January 2022.
