We are based in the GlaxoSmithKline Carbon Neutral Laboratory for Sustainable Chemistry, a state-of-the-art research facility located on the Jubilee Campus of the University of Nottingham. Our group consists of PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and undergraduate students funded by research councils, charities and the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.
Current Group (summer 2019)
Principal Investigator: Dr Ross Denton
Ross began his research career at The University of Nottingham, carrying out his PhD studies with Professor Jim Anderson. Following the completion of his doctoral research he moved to The Scripps Research Institute in California as a postdoctoral fellow in the group of Professor K.C. Nicolaou. Returning to the UK he carried out further postdoctoral studies with Professor Steven Ley, CBE, FRS at Cambridge University. He returned to Nottingham to begin his independent research career in 2008 as a fixed term Lecturer in Organic Chemistry. In 2009 he was appointed to a Lectureship in Organic Chemistry was promoted to Associate Professor in 2016. To date Ross’ group has received >£2M in research funding and has published in the areas of organophosphorus chemistry, catalysis, organosilicon chemistry and total synthesis.
