It’s been an exciting summer for the O’Duill group. We moved into the GSK Carbon Neutral Laboratory on Jubilee Campus (a big thank you to Andrew for doing most of the heavy lifting!), and expanded the group.

Suman Das joined us from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, for a 3-year postdoc. He immediately set out to expand and improve our set-up for air- and moisture-free chemistry in the lab.

Charlotte McIvor finished her MChem at Northumbria University and has started her PhD here. She will be applying her experience with Fe(III) chelators to I(III) chemistry.

We also welcome Georgia Brown, Laura Carter and Rory Cunningham, who will be doing their MSci projects in the group this year.
