OUR PEOPLE

Ian's doctoral studies focused on developing a chemical model for p-type ATPases, and on examining the enantioslectivity of Candida rugosa lipase towards esters of chiral carboxylic acid esters. The nature of the research performed for his MSc degree involved developing a method for the diastereoselective synthesis of 4-methyl prolines based on intramolecular radical cyclizations of chiral substrates. In his postdoctoral work at Harvard University, Ianstudied electrostatic interactions in biological systems using capillary electrophoresis.
