Chris Clemett

Dr Chris Clemett is a Research Assistant in Photochromic Heterocyclic Chemistry at the Department of Physical and Life Sciences, School of Applied Sciences, University of Huddersfield. With a PhD evidenced by the 'Dr' title, Clemett actively contributes to research in anion chemistry and supramolecular systems. The research profile indicates availability for PhD supervision, highlighting involvement in graduate education.

Clemett's research focuses on anion chemistry, particularly in the areas of supramolecular chemistry, phosphate recognition, and molecular self-assembly. Key interests include designing molecular receptors that can selectively bind anions, with applications ranging from environmental phosphate removal to potential anti-cancer therapeutics. The work intersects chemistry, biochemistry, and environmental science, contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to clean water and good health.

Analysis of publication trends shows consistent research output from 2018-2021, with six publications primarily in high-impact chemistry journals including Nature Communications, Angewandte Chemie, and Polyhedron. The research demonstrates a clear trajectory from fundamental anion recognition chemistry toward biological applications, particularly in cancer research.

Clemett collaborates extensively with Professor C.R. Rice and other researchers at the University of Huddersfield, with notable contributions to the development of anion-binding cryptands and self-assembling molecular systems. The research has garnered attention across multiple platforms, with coverage in news outlets, social media, and academic networks.

The research activities involve molecular design, synthesis, and characterization of compounds with applications in environmental remediation and potential therapeutic development. Current work appears focused on bridging fundamental chemistry with practical applications in water treatment and cancer research.
