Dr Peter Kennewell
Peter D. Kennewell studied Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge and gained his PhD with Professor Alan Katritzky at the University of East Anglia. He was a post-doctoral fellow with Professor Ned Heindel at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania working on anti-malarial agents. He joined Roussel Laboratories (now part of Sanofi-Aventis) as a medicinal chemist and subsequently held a number of increasingly senior research management roles until the UK research department was closed following the merger of Hoechst-Roussel with Marion Merrell Dow in 1995. He then joined the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council with a particular interest in encouraging chemists to apply their skills to attacking biological problems. In retirement he has mentored a number of on-line medicinal chemistry courses.
