R. Scott Murphy is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Regina, housed in the Research and Innovation Centre. His research focuses on developing lipid-based supramolecular assemblies responsive to light, with applications in drug delivery and ion transport regulation. He teaches courses including Organic Chemistry I, Physical Chemistry II, and specialized photochemistry topics. His work integrates photochemistry, supramolecular chemistry, and nanotechnology to create light-triggered delivery systems.
Education details are not explicitly provided in the texts. Research interests emphasize photoresponsive lipid nanoparticles, photochromic materials, and their biomedical applications. The Murphy Research Group collaborates on projects funded by grants, with active openings for M.Sc., Ph.D., and undergraduate students. Contact information includes Scott.Murphy@uregina.ca and a lab phone at 306-585-4247.
Key research themes include designing amphiphilic molecules that undergo light-driven structural changes, enabling controlled drug release mechanisms. Publications span photochemistry fundamentals to applied materials science, with over two decades of contributions. His group’s work has potential applications in targeted drug delivery and environmental remediation.
Teaching responsibilities include CHEM 140, CHEM 251, and advanced graduate courses like Supramolecular Photochemistry. The lab facilities support nanotechnology and spectroscopic studies, with collaborations in both academic and industrial sectors.
