Craig Jamieson earned his B.Sc. (Hons) in Chemistry
at the University of Glasgow in 1996. His Ph.D. studies
were carried out under the direction of Prof. R. Ramage at
the University of Edinburgh (1999). Following postdoctoral research under the supervision of Prof. S. V. Ley at
the University of Cambridge, in 2001 he was appointed as
Principal Scientist in GlaxoSmithKline’s Discovery
Medicinal Chemistry group working on a range of

Dr. Jamieson joined Organon Laboratories (later Merck
Research Labs) as a Group Leader in the Medicinal
Chemistry Department, with responsibility for the hit to
clinical candidate optimisation. In August 2010, he was
appointed as John Anderson Research Lecturer in
Chemical Biology, based in the Department of Pure and
Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde.
Keith Livingstone completed his M.Chem. in Chemistry
with Drug Discovery at the University of Strathclyde
(2016) under the supervision of Dr. Craig Jamieson.
Keith remained at Strathclyde and is currently in the final
year of his doctoral studies with Dr. Jamieson, which
have also included two short research secondments at
