Dr Jean-Marie Peron

About

In 2021, I completed my PhD in medicinal chemistry under Prof. R C. Hider, King's College London. After a few short research assignments, in 2002 I joined Prof. Keith Jones' group at Kingston University as a research fellow. During that time, I worked on semi-synthetic cardioactive steroids (bufadienolides); on a project funded by the Special Trustees of St Thomas' Hospital. In 2006, I changed direction and took on the role of NMR senior technician at Kingston, supporting teaching and research in the School of LSPC. During that time I collaborated with a number of academic colleagues offering NMR expertise to help answer varied scientific questions. In December 2017, I returned to the Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, where I am now a senior lecturer in organic and pharmaceutical chemistry.

Academic responsibilities

Senior Lecturer in Organic and Pharmaceutical Chemistry

Qualifications

  • D.U.T. de Chimie: I.U.T. de Chimie, Université de Rennes 1, France, 1993
  • BSc (Hons.) Chemistry: Kingston University, UK, 1995
  • PhD Medicinal Chemistry: King's College London, UK, 2002
  • Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), 2019

Teaching and learning

I teach chemistry on a number of courses. Although my role is to teach organic and pharmaceutical chemistry at levels 4-7, I also teach general chemistry to level 4 life sciences students (LS4002) and NMR and spectroscopy data analysis and interpretation to level 5 pharmaceutical science students (CH5007). I lead two modules: CH4005 - Foundation Chemistry and CH7070 - Design, Discovery and Development of Pharmaceuticals. Since November 2020, I am the Admissions Tutor for the undergraduate Chemistry courses and undergraduate Pharmaceutical Science courses. I am involved in supervising a number of MPharm, MSc or BSc projects during the academic year. I also am the personal tutor for 25-30 students in the Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Research

My current research interests include the structure elucidation of naturally occurring bioactive compounds (RMM<800DA) using high-resolution FT-NMR spectroscopy, and organic synthesis to prepare molecules with medicinal properties. I also collaborate on a number of projects where solution phase NMR is used as a means to quantify drugs (e.g. in formulation studies), their metabolites or investigate drug stability (e.g. anticancer drug cocktails). My interest is not limited to organic-type chemistry, I am also keen to collaborate on materials chemistry projects. I currently supervise and co-supervise 3 PhD students in three different fields: NMR research, cancer research, and cosmetics research.

Areas of specialism

  • Synthetic Organic Chemistry
  • Natural Products Structure Elucidation
  • Bruker Avance III NMR Spectrometer Automation and Topspin 3+ AU Programming
  • NMR Data Processing and Interpretation

Leadership and management

Admissions Tutor for Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Science

I collaborate with Admissions colleagues to process UCAS applications for Undergraduate Chemistry (F100, F123) and Undergraduate Pharmaceutical Science (BB21, BB22, B204) programmes. I represent the Department of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences (CPS) on the Faculty Recruitment Consultancy Committee. As such, I influence the recruitment strategy in the light of recent developments in pre-university education. I also brief and train CPS colleagues during the UCAS clearing period.
