Professor Patrick Steel is a faculty member at Durham University in the Department of Chemistry. His work spans Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Organosilicon Chemistry, and Chemical Biology, with applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and parasitic disease treatment.
- Research Highlights:
- Developing C-H borylation methods for pharmaceutical intermediates
- Exploring silene cycloadditions for alkene functionalization
- Designing small molecule probes for plant and parasite biology
- Collaborating with Todd Marder (Würzburg) and others in synthetic biology
Key Collaborations: Partnerships with pharmaceutical companies (GSK, Pfizer) and academic teams focus on novel antileishmanial compounds and herbicide resistance mechanisms. His group's organosilicon work intersects with collaborations on stereoselective synthesis and natural product analogs.
Recent Publications (2025-2021) demonstrate expertise in transition metal catalysis, chemical probe development, and neglected disease research. The 2023 Leishmania proteomics and 2022 miltefosine studies show translational impact.
