معرفی
Dr. Martin Gill is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at Swansea University, within the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. His research bridges chemistry and biology, focusing on metal complexes for drug discovery and imaging in cancer therapy. Key areas include coordination and organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and chemical biology.
- BSc (Hons) in Chemistry, University of Bristol
- PhD in Chemistry, University of Sheffield (supervised by Professors Jim Thomas and Giuseppe Battaglia)
Research in the Gill group explores the use of luminescent ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes for cellular imaging, DNA binding, and anticancer applications. His work spans synthetic inorganic chemistry, cell biology, and biochemistry, with a focus on DNA mismatches and replication stress. Recent studies highlight collaborations in photodynamic therapy, radiosensitization, and nanomaterials for drug delivery.
Publications since 2020 emphasize metal complexes in cancer therapy, including PARP inhibition synergy, platinum resistance mechanisms, and super-resolution microscopy advancements. The lab's interdisciplinary approach integrates chemical synthesis with biological evaluation, targeting cancer's molecular vulnerabilities through innovative metallodrugs.
Dr. Gill is available for postgraduate supervision and teaches modules from foundational chemistry to advanced inorganic topics. His group collaborates with experts in pharmacology, materials science, and oncology, advancing theranostic agents and green chemistry methodologies.
