Dr Claire Council is a Senior Knowledge Exchange and Enterprise (KEE) Fellow, based in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ. She works closely with researchers across the school to support collaboration and commercialisation activities and develop impact from their research.

She was awarded an industry-based PhD from University of Surrey in 2013, on the synthesis and molecular modelling of non-natural peptide bonds in synthetic proteins.
