1 May 2024

School of Chemistry PhD student Malcolm George has won a runner-up prize for his presentation at the AstraZeneca Pharmaceutical Technology & Development and Pharm Sci PhD Day conferences, held on April 25 and 26.

In his presentation entitled 'Ultra-High-Resolution NMR and Total Synthesis; Uncovering the Stereochemistry of the Caylobolides', Malcolm showcased the power of metalation-borylation chemistry for the installation of stereochemistry with 100% enantioselectivity, and how complex NMR systems can be addressed and simplified with the assistance of modern spectrometers and novel analytical methods.

Malcolm is completing his PhD with the Centre for Doctoral Training in Technology Enhanced Chemical Synthesis (TECS).
