The Long Arm of Heterocyclic Chemistry
Professor Colin Suckling of Strathclyde University discusses advancements with Heterocyclic Chemistry and the progress towards new medicines.
Earlier in January I attended a conference at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, famous for Dolly the Sheep. Unlike that high profile product of scientific invention and technological virtuosity the subject was on...
Get your medicinal chemistry right!
Prof Colin J Suckling from the University of Strathclyde gives his opinion on getting your medicinal chemistry right to gain success in the field
One of the pillars of interdisciplinary research at the University of Strathclyde concerns all aspects of health and well-being. For chemists, this means medicinal chemistry. As...
Chemical biology: A chance conversation but an important question
Research professor Prof Colin J Suckling OBE DSc FRSE discusses his engagement with medicinal chemistry and chemical biology
Parasitic infection: Animal health matters too
Professor Colin J Suckling explains how teams at the University of Strathclyde and University of Glasgow are challenging global parasitic infection
Cows, horse, camels
When people talk about drug discovery the automatic reaction is to consider human health. In most countries with stable food supplies that are an understandable response. However...
Chemistry-based Innovation: There’s life in the old science (literally)
Professor Colin Suckling discusses chemistry-based innovation and research benefits that can be seen during our lifetimes.
Many people have written off traditional sciences as having little value to the modern world. The real excitement in science is said to be in the big things like the Higgs boson and gravitational waves....
The pervasive penetration of heterocyclic chemistry research
Professor Colin Suckling discusses heterocyclic chemistry research and how it makes a difference.
Because I work on chemical biology and medicinal chemistry, most of the Special Reports that I have written deal with science on the interface of chemistry and biology. But in offering perspectives bedded in the field of...
Science that transcends politics for a truly global reach
Politics cannot get in the way of scientific and global collaboration. Professor Colin J Suckling OBE DSc FRSE, Research Professor of Chemistry, Department of Pure & Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde discusses
The impact of the referendum debacle will take time to work through in policy and in practice. Meanwhile...
Bioinspired green methods for functional nanomaterials
Dr. Siddharth V. Patwardhan, Head of the Green Nanomaterials Research Group at the University of Sheffield highlights nanomaterials and their functions…
Nanomaterials are worth multibillions of dollars globally but their production is wasteful and environmentally damaging. At the Green Nanomaterials Research Group, University of Sheffield, we focus on discovery, design...
Infectious disease is a global problem
Professor Colin J Suckling, Research Professor of Chemistry at the Department of Pure & Applied Chemistry, University of Strathclyde looks at how the recent EU Referendum could impact his institution and research.
Like many British academics, the result of the recent referendum on the UK’s place in Europe was a...
Where will our new medicines come from?
A view from one of the drug discovery teams at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland
Earlier this year I completed a three-year term as a ‘Public Partner’ on the Scottish Medicines.
Consortium (SMC), which is the body that advises the National Health Service in Scotland on the cost-effectiveness of medicines....
It’s all around us – Heterocyclic chemistry
No surprise that the public interest is readily attracted through the media to the latest fashions in science and it’s good that there is a continual stimulus of discoveries and inventions to whet the practical and intellectual appetites. Behind all the innovations the basic rules of the chemical and...
New and effective drugs? Yes, please, but where from?
How the University of Strathclyde has approached meeting the responsibility to create opportunities to satisfy the demand for new drugs.
New anti-infective drugs following a grand tradition
Nobel Prizes are normally awarded to scientists whose fundamental discoveries have had a major impact over a number of years in the particular field of scientific research. Just occasionally a Nobel Prize recognizes a discovery that has come directly to the consumer. From the point of view of a...
You’ve got to be able to see what you are doing!
At the heart of almost everything we do in chemistry is analysis, measurements that show us what we have made, how pure it is, what is happening in a reaction, or what is present in a particular sample. The use of the word ‘see’ is not just a journalistic...
Drug discovery backwards?
There’s been a lot written about the slow-down in the marketing of new drugs in the last 20 years from the point of view of the international pharmaceutical industry establishment. But if you asked an Indian physician what is needed to discover a new drug he or she might...
AG: Health Supplement
Due to the success of the Health & Social Care section within the AG publication, Adjacent Digital Politics Ltd will be producing a health analysis supplement to co-inside with the publication. Within the supplement due to be distributed at the end of March, we will include a number of feature...
Plants, Drugs, and Heterocyclic Chemistry
When thinking about heterocyclic chemistry it’s as interesting to consider where it came from as what it is and what it can do. Probably the most important origin of heterocyclic chemistry is compounds from plants and it’s their medicinal properties that first became significant. Most people will be aware...
Chemical biology and drug discovery
The power of flexible teamwork is the key to successful research in chemical biology and drug discovery in the work of Professor Colin Suckling at the Department of Pure and
Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. Over the past 10 years, research has challenged major problems of...
