CBiF Executive Committee Members

The CBiF is advised by an Executive Committee Members

Hagan is Professor of Chemical Biology in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford. His research interests include engineering membrane channels and pores, high-throughput screening with membrane proteins, biomolecular materials by design, caged peptides and proteins for signal transduction research.

Nick Westwood is a Reader in Chemistry at the School of Chemistry at the University of St Andrews. His current work includes synthetic chemistry, natural products, chemical genetics, interdisciplinary research and diversity-oriented synthesis. His main focus is in developing "synthetic blueprints" that encode for large collections of novel chemical entities.

Dr Andy Merritt is Director of High Throughput Chemistry at GlaxoSmithKline, a role which encompasses global responsibility for both outsource support for lead discovery chemistry and for the provision of molecular tools for target validation. His background has been in the application of combinatorial chemistry and technologies to drug discovery since the development of the approach in the early 1990s. Andy sits on the RSC Industry and Technology Forum Executive and was a cofounder of the High Throughput Chemistry and New Technologies Interest Group, holding the role of secretary between 2001 and 2005.  He was the industrial organiser of the RSC medicinal chemistry summer school for the period 1999 to 2003. He is a member of the Royal Society Higher Education Working Group, which is currently undertaking a pilot project to develop a deeper understanding of the way in which science and mathematics courses must evolve to meet future skills challenges. He is also a European regional editor for the journal Combinatorial Chemistry & High Throughput Screening, and presents lectures to undergraduates and postgraduates on drug discovery and new technologies at UK universities (Imperial College London, Sussex University, Reading) and at the RSC Medicinal Chemistry summer school.
