Dr Andy Whiting
Reader in Organic Chemistry
Department of Chemistry
University of Durham
South Road
Durham DH1 3LE
UNITED KINGDOM
Dr Andy Whiting is a Reader in Organic Chemistry andmuch of his group’s
work has involved the use of organometallic systems to control stereoselectivity,
including boronate ester-controlled remote asymmetric reduction processes,
and transition metal catalysis aimed at developing new methods for the highly
stereoselective synthesis of polyene-containing natural products and polyenes
in general. Dr Whiting has established an academic research laboratory consisting
of several postdoctoral and postgraduate research scientists. His group
is well funded and regularly publishes their work in peer reviewed journals. Dr
Whiting is also Director and co-founder of LyraChem Limited a technology
company specialising in improving chemical process development through the
seamless and parallel deployment of the complementary disciplines of chemistry,
chemical engineering and mathematics to efficiently and cost-effectively
transfer a process from laboratory to plant and/or improve existing processes.

UNITED KINGDOM
Professor Todd Marder holds the Inorganic Chair in the Department of Chemistry
at the Durham University, and was a Sir Derman Christopherson Foundation
Fellow (2003-4) having served as its Head of the Inorganic Teaching Section,
and Head of the Structure, Property and Function Research Grouping. He has
an international reputation in organometallic and boron chemistry, homogeneous
catalysis, and conjugated materials chemistry. He has published 185 papers
and has given over 210 invited lectures worldwide. He received the Rutherford
Memorial Medal for Chemistry of the Royal Society of Canada in 1995. Professor
Marder is a leader in the field of transition metal boryl chemistry and in
the development of catalytic processes involving mono- and diboron reagents.

Dr Neil Cameron
Reader in Macromolecular Chemistry
Associate Director, IRC in Polymer Science
and Technology
Department of Chemistry
University of Durham
South Road
Durham DH1 3LE
UNITED KINGDOM
Dr Neil Cameron is a Reader in Macromolecular Chemistry and is the Associate
Director (Durham) of the Interdisciplinary Research Centre in Polymer Science
and Technology (Polymer IRC). He has an active research group consisting
of postdoctoral and postgraduate research scientists working in a range of
areas including: the development of novel porous polymers for a variety of
applications; the production, properties and applications of glycopolymers;
and the use of controlled polymerisation methods to make new polymer architectures. His
research to date has lead to the publication of more than 50 articles, reviews,
book chapters and patents and he has made 45 research presentations at conferences
and colloquia. Dr Cameron has 15 years’ experience in the preparation
of highly porous polymers, particularly using emulsions as templates. His
recent work has focussed on developing methods for controlling the morphology
and properties of these materials.
