We recently welcomed a new group member who is an expert in separations - welcome Bernard! Fitted with an ELSD, he allows us to separate and purify some of our trickier crude mixtures and is fast becoming a key part of the group 🧪😀🎉Teledyne ISCO UK #Chemistry #purification #flashcolumn

Final year PhD ⌬ Hannah presenting her work towards the total synthesis of abyssomicin 2 and neoabyssomicin B at Royal Society of Chemistry organic chemistry poster symposium Bristol Chemistry #chemistry #womeninSTEM 🧪

Big congratulations are in order for our newly Dr Kaiman Cheung who successfully defended his thesis today titled ‘A Multidisciplinary Approach to Exploit Diels-Alderases in Synthesis’. Well done Kaiman! 🧪🧬⚗️🥼📚

Great British Quench off🧪! Sorting through our old chemistry inventory in the process of moving to a new system means two days spent quenching old reagent bottles, spreadsheet organising and listening to fun music to keep us sane! #DreamTeam ⚗️🥼

Merry Willis Christmas! Christmas celebrations yesterday involved a set of great presentations from this year’s Master’s students and a fun game of Laser tag. Merry Xmas everyone and Happy New Year!🎄🤶🏼🎅🏼

We started 2025 with Harrison Johnson-Evans , Matt and The Boss attending @ContBioFlow at Heriot-Watt University. It was great to share ideas and have some excellent discussions around the future of continuous biocatalysis! #continuousflow #biocatalysis 🧫🧪

Great day in Bristol doing a PhD viva. And pleasingly, the first one I’ve done (now over 50) where the examiners were happy to pass the candidate with no corrections!! Congratulations Willis Research Group

A MASSIVE congratulations to Dr. Josie Harcourt on passing her viva yesterday with ZERO corrections! 🧪👩‍🔬⚗️ Thank you to examiners Adrian Dobbs and Varinder Aggarwal 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 for bringing their expertise to the discussion! #womeninSTEM

It was great to hear about some of the exciting work happening within the chemical biology sphere at the Royal Society of Chemistry CBBG meeting Bristol Chemistry! Liam, Lorna and Sacha Charlton had the opportunity to present some of their work, with Lorna winning a poster prize!🧫👨‍🔬👩‍🔬👩‍🔬🧪

Clayden Group WoolfsonLab AggarwalLab Buttsresearchgroup M. Carmen Galan Varinder Aggarwal 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Next we have Matt Horwood from the Willis Research Group talking about his project looking at using natural product biosynthesis as inspirational for novel biocatalysts. 🧪 #TECS #CDT #EPRSC

We have had a fantastic week at the 26th Lakeland Symposium in Grasmere! RSC_HSG It has been great to hear some fascinating science and exploring the beautiful surroundings of the Lake District! 🧪👨‍🔬👩‍🔬 #RSCGrasmere #HeterocyclicChemistry #Grasmere26

Third year TECS and Bristol ChemSynth CDTs PhD, Clare presented the puzzling story behind the total synthesis of the galbonolides! RSC_HSG 👩‍🔬🧪 #RSCGrasmere #HeterocyclicChemistry #Grasmere26

Third year TECS and Bristol ChemSynth CDTs PhD, Lorna made some (tetra)mates at this year's Grasmere and also presented her work on Diels-Alderase enzymes! RSC_HSG 👩‍🔬🧪 #RSCGrasmere #HeterocyclicChemistry #Grasmere26

We also had poster presentations from fourth year TECS and Bristol ChemSynth CDTs PhD, ⌬ Hannah on her work towards the total synthesis of abyssomicin 2 and the neoabyssomicins​ as well as second year PBowler who presented his progress towards the total synthesis of phomonol​ (photos not included)

Lorna Minty begins with the first talk of the day "Investigating Diels-Alderase Enzyme as Biocatalysts in Organic Synthesis". #TECS #CDT #EPSRC

Kicking off the afternoon's talks is Clare Rabbitt with her puzzling work on the total synthesis of the galbonolides #TECS #CDT #EPSRC

And for our final student talk of the day, Liam Smith presents his project titled “Probing Beta-Branching Mechanisms in Polyketide Biosynthesis”. Cool chemistry!

A whole host of chemistry highlighted in the 2023 cohort's flash presentations! Lots to look forward to in the afternoon poster session. #TECS #CDT #EPSRC

A couple of weeks ago, we attended #Biotrans2025 with Sacha Charlton and Harrison Johnson-Evans presenting their work harnessing the power of Diels-Alderases! It was an exceptional week of science, networking and swimming in the Rhine! SWBio DTP Bristol Chemistry 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬🧫

Congratulations to everyone who graduated Bristol Chemistry this week but a particular congratulations to our two PhD alumni Josie Harcourt and Kaiman Cheung and our four MSci students Alex, Ayden, Ollie and Rhiannon!! 🥂🎉⚗️🧪🎉🥂
