Background

Danielle gained her MChem degree from Nottingham Trent University in July 2014. Her MChem project focused on the synthesis and characterization of new anti-malarials based on a natural product with known anti-malarial activity. Danielle also carried out a short summer vacation project at Nottingham Trent University in 2013 where she synthesized nanoparticles designed for drug transport and analyzed their diameters using Atomic Transmission Force Microscopy. 

Project Information

Danielle’s PhD project focuses on the synthesis, characterization and biology of anti-inflammatory mediator Resolvin E1 and its various fragments. Due to the high cost of the biologically extracted Resolvin E1 there is a need to develop an efficient synthetic route to this compound so that it may be biologically tested and allow for structural modifications in order to enhance its anti-inflammatory properties. 

Danielle is currently working as a teaching Fellow at the University of Warwick Department of Chemistry Email D.Pearson.2@warwick.ac.uk
