Long-lived Nuclear Hyperpolarization of Methyl Groups

Project overview

This project consists of the hyperpolarization of long-lived states in methyl groups and their isotopomers. The project makes use of solution NMR and dissolution-DNP equipment.

Magnetic Resonance

Our main focus is finding ways to extend the timescale over which magnetic resonance can be made.

Organic Chemistry, Synthesis, Catalysis

We develop environmentally sustainable approaches to chemical manufacture that minimise chemical waste, improve product velocity and reduce the need to isolate intermediates.
