Micheal Meanwell, PhD
Michael Meanwell completed his PhD in organic chemistry under Dr. Robert Britton at Simon Fraser University where he worked on C-H functionalization, organocatalysis, and nucleoside analogue synthesis. Michael continued his training as a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow with Dr. Phil Baran at the Scripps Research Institute working on electrocatalysis and natural product synthesis. Dr. Meanwell began his independent career in July 2022 as the Manley and Marian Johnston Professor in Chemistry. His current research interests include electro- and photo-catalysis, synthesis of nucleoside analogue and natural product antivirals, and fluorine chemistry.
