Cailean Bonella

3rd Year DPhil Student

Having grown up in Telford, I went on to complete my MChem at the University of York. The final year of my degree was spent on placement at Charles River Laboratories in Saffron Waldon, where I was working as a synthetic chemist on a drug development project during the hit to lead and lead optimisation phases. I joined the Dixon group in 2022, where my current work focuses on developing new synthetic methodology. In my spare time, I enjoy making pizza, feeding ducks, and pole fitness.
