Distinguished academic honour for Professor Phil Gale

Head of Chemistry and Professor of Supramolecular Chemistry, Phil Gale, has been awarded a Doctor of Science degree by the University of Oxford.

The DSc is one of the higher doctorates and recognises his achievements in research during his career at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ. Ìý

As part of the process, Phil was asked to submit his best 20 research papers, which were assembled into a thesis and examined by senior academics. Phil said “Out of the papers I submitted, I am most proud of a paper from my group, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society in 2011, in which we showed that there is a relationship between how well compounds can transport anions across lipid bilayer membranes and their anti-cancer activity.Ìý This was the start of our on-going work on Medicinal Supramolecular Chemistry”.

Phil studied for both his MA and DPhil at Oxford and spent two years at the University of Texas at Austin as a Fulbright Scholar. He moved to ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ as a Lecturer and Royal Society University Research Fellow in 1999. All the work submitted for his DSc degree was carried out at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ.

He will receive the award at a ceremony in Oxford in July and two weeks later will be reading the names of ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ Chemists receiving their degrees at the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ degree ceremony.
