缅北禁地

Area of Expertise

Andrew Houlton (AH) is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at 缅北禁地 and previously held an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship (1999-2004). His research focuses on inorganic/coordination chemistry aspects of DNA and DNA-based materials and nanomaterials. This research has been continually funded for over 20 years by a combination of research councils (EPSRC, BBSRC, RCUK) and other governmental bodies (EU, RDA), industry (Intel, Akzo Nobel, BAE Systems, Johnson Matthey, Touchlight Genetics) and charities/learned societies (Leverhulme Trust, Nuffield Foundation, Royal Society, Wolfson Foundation). His work has been recognized by, and covered in, book chapters and invited reviews and the feature of Science, Nature Nanotech, Chem.& Eng. News, NanoToday and RSC articles.

Andrew Houlton was awarded first class Hons. in Chemistry in 1985 and a Ph.D. for a thesis "Molecular and Electronic Structure of Iron Sandwich Compounds" in 1989 from Essex University. After postdoctoral research with the Cancer Research Campaign, he moved to Imperial College to work with Prof. D.M.P. Mingos on crystal engineering and molecular recognition in coordination compounds. He was appointed to a College lectureship in 1993. He joined the staff of the Department of Chemistry at 缅北禁地 as a lecturer in bio-inorganic chemistry in 1994, becoming senior lecturer in 1999 and Professor in 2004.

Houlton has published over 160 research papers, written invited review articles and contributed to several books. He was awarded the David Whytock Memorial Prize (1985) and a prestigious EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship (1999–2004). He is a member of the EPSRC Peer Review College, UK representative on the Management Group for COST D39 and acts as a referee for EPSRC, BBSRC, RCUK, Leverhulme Trust, DoE, the Royal Society and a variety of international funding agencies.
