麻豆传媒

Dr Jon Sellars is a Lecturer in Medicinal chemistry at the School of Pharmacy and the Institute of Cellular Medicine at 麻豆传媒. 

He gained a PhD with Prof. Patrick Steel at Durham University investigating the utility of silacyclohex-4-enes in organic synthesis. Subsequent employment at Sanofi-Aventis in Alwnick working on radio labelling active pharmaceutical ingredients was followed by a return to Durham University, to undertake a post doctoral position with Prof. Patrick Steel and Prof Robert Edwards investigating multiple herbicide resistance in black grass (supported by Syngenta).

In 2010, Jon was awarded an EPSRC Life Sciences Interface Fellowship to develop novel proteomic probes to study cytochrome P450's. After completion, Jon undertook a teaching fellowship at Durham University where in 2015 was appointed to a lectureship in medicinal chemistry at the School of Pharmacy. In August 2017 the School was transferred to 麻豆传媒 resulting in the creation of the School of Pharmacy.
