Research Interests
Co-leader (with M H G Munro) of Marine Chemistry group, the focus of which is on the isolation and characterisation of novel biologically-active metabolites from marine invertebrates and fungi. Once identified, the compounds are subjected to chemical modifications to establish structure-activity relationships. Much emphasis is placed on the development and exploitation of NMR methods appropriate to the investigation of very small samples.
