معرفی
Dr Russ Pearson is a Lecturer in Organic Chemistry and Researcher at the School of Chemistry, University of St Andrews. His work spans both chemical research and innovative teaching methodologies. He focuses on synthetic organic chemistry, particularly S-nitrosothiols and drug discovery mechanisms, alongside developing educational tools like audience response systems (clickers/Plickers) and interactive learning strategies.
Research interests include the synthesis and application of nitric oxide-donor compounds for medicinal purposes, as well as the design of problem-based learning frameworks in chemistry education. His contributions to teaching methodologies emphasize student engagement through technology and active learning approaches.
Publications highlight advancements in chemical synthesis, pharmacological applications, and pedagogical innovations. Notable works include studies on drug discovery paradigms for PLK1 inhibition and evaluations of educational tools during the pandemic.
