Professor Adam Le Gresley

About

I obtained my PhD from the University of Surrey in 2004, working under Professor Nikolai Kuhnert on the synthesis of Calix[4]arene derivatives for dynamic combinatorial libraries. I undertook my postdoctoral work as an NIH Research Fellow at Drexel College of Medicine in the USA, where I worked on the synthesis and evaluation of "caged" compounds for probing biological pathways in the brain.

Since joining Kingston Universityin 2009, I have established a research group in organic and analytical chemistry, funded by industrial sponsors such as GlaxoSmithKline, LGC Ltd and Innovate UK, working on the design and synthesis of fluorogenic compounds for problem pathogen detection and method development for NMR metabolomics/2D qNMR for complex mixture analysis and metrology. I have collaborations with institutions in Germany, Australia and the USA.
