Gregory Perry

Dr. Gregory Perry is a Lecturer in Organic Chemistry at the University of Southampton (UK), leading an independent research group focused on discovering novel reactivity for molecular synthesis and transformation. His career includes postdoctoral research at Nagoya University and Kyoto University, and previous fixed-term lecturer roles at the University of Manchester.

Research Interests:

• Organic synthesis with a focus on catalysis
• Carbon and nitrogen isotope labelling techniques
• Metal-halogen exchange reactions
• CO2 utilization in synthetic chemistry
• Transition-metal-free cross-coupling methods

Notable Contributions: His recent work explores sulfonium salts for aromatic coupling, sustainable biaryl synthesis, and stomatal-regulating molecule development. Articles span topics like organolithium reagents, bimetallic catalysis, and molecular semiconductor synthesis.

Academic Background:

• MChem in Chemistry (2012), University of Liverpool
• PhD in Organic Chemistry (2016), University of Manchester

Current Collaborations: Affiliated with the ChemLife Network, Institute for Life Sciences, and groups led by Professors Hideki Yorimitsu and David J. Procter.
