PhD Research: My project aims to develop luminescent lanthanide complexes as reporters of drug induced toxicity. It involves the design, synthesis and characterisation of novel lanthanide metal complexes targeted at specific cell organelles. The project covers aspects of synthetic chemistry and cell biology and is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the labs of James Bruce, Jon Golding and James Phillips at the OU and Andrew Nicholls at GlaxoSmithKline.
