Richard
Brown received a first class honours degree in chemistry from the
University of Southampton in 1990. He remained at Southampton for
postgraduate studies under the guidance of Professor Kocienski F.R.S.,
obtaining his Ph.D. in 1994 for his thesis 'Furan Oxidation Applied to
the Synthesis of Salinomycin'. With a move to the University of
California Berkeley in 1994 to take up a NATO postdoctoral fellowship in
Professor Clayton Heathcock’s research group, his synthetic efforts
switched from complex polyether ionophores to alkaloids, specifically
the syntheses of the alkaloids petrosin C and petrosin D. On his return
to the UK in 1996, he took up a six-month sabbatical at Pfizer Central
Research before being awarded a Royal Society University Research
Fellowship, also in 1996, to join the faculty at the University of
Southampton. He was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2004 and to
Professor in 2010. He is currently deputy head of Chemistry for
Research.
One of the main interests in our research group is the total synthesis of natural products. Most of these natural product targets possess interesting or useful biological and pharmacological activities. Some examples of natural products synthesised by our group.
