Dr Matthew Gibson has been awarded the life science prize at the Royal Society of Chemistry Emerging Technology technology competition. http://tinyurl.com/kmdw8pq

Congratulations to Professor Julie MacPherson who has been awarded a Royal Society Industry Fellowship, to commence in October 2014.

Congratulations to Dr Paul Taylor (Chemistry and IATL), Nick Barker (Chemistry) and Paul Blagburn (Student Admissions and Recruitment) who have successfully secured £150,000 from the Royal Society of Chemistry’s National Widening Participation (WP) programme ‘Chemistry for All’. Competition for these awards was fierce and Warwick was one of just four institutions, out of sixteen, to receive funding.

Many congratulations to Rod Wesson who has been awarded HEA STEM Technician of the Year Award! The winners of the Higher Education Academy STEM Technicians of the Year awards were announced at the HEA STEM annual conference on 30 April at the University of Edinburgh. Professor Iain Stewart, Professor of Geoscience Communication at University of Plymouth, and presenter of the BBC series Earth, presented the awards.

Dr Andrew Dove has been named the Royal Society of Chemistry Gibson-Fawcett Award winner for 2014. The award recognises “original and independent contributions to materials chemistry”.

in the won the prize for best poster presentation at the 13th European Summer Course on Glycosciences. Her winning poster was entitled 'Polymer Functionalised Surfaces for Microarray Applications'.

The group of have this week published a paper in Angewandte Chemie describing a new synthesis approach to oxides of ruthenium, including new structures, and materials with unusual magnetic properties. The work was performed by PhD student Craig Hiley in collaboration with industrial partner Johnson Matthey, as part of an ongoing study into the chemistry of precious-metal containing materials.

“Ruthenium (V) Oxides from Low Temperature Hydrothermal Synthesis” C.I. Hiley, M.R. Lees, J.M. Fisher, D. Thompsett, S. Agrestini, R.I. Smith and R.I. Walton, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 53 (2014) 4423–4427, April 22, 2014

Congratulations to Rhiann Andrew, a second year PhD student in the Chaplin Group, who was awarded the RSC Metallomics Poster Prize at the Dalton 2014 conference for her work on NHC-based Rhodium Macrocycles.

Many congratulations to James Silk, an MChem with Industrial Training student, who has been awarded a Salters' Graduate Prize 2014, one of only 5 awarded to Chemistry students nationally.

His personal tutor, Peter Scott said, "James is an outstanding scientist, excelling in all subjects, but he seems to have a real feel for synthetic chemistry. His experimental work is impeccable, his writing is insightful and his motivation levels are truly inspiring. One to watch."

Many congratulations to Professor Peter Sadler, FRS who has been appointed by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council as an EPSRC RISE Fellow. The RISE scheme is aimed at Recognising Inspirational Scientists and Engineers working in the UK. The full press release can be found at:

The Gibson Group, in collaboration with the Medical School, have demonstrated a new way to cryopreserve donor blood using a synthetic polymer which mimics Antifreeze Proteins found in Arctic Cod.

Professor , Department of Chemistry, has received a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award. The Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of science, has announced the appointment of 21 new holders. Professor , Warwick Medical School, has also received the prestigious award this year.

The newly appointed award holders are working on a wide range of projects. Professor Sebastien Perrier’s work will focus on Functional soft nanotubes from molecular engineering.
