This year’s YMCS Presentation Prize has been awarded to Duncan Hay.
Duncan Hay recently completed his DPhil, under the supervision of Prof. Chris Schofield at the University of Oxford and Dr Paul Brennan at the SGC. His thesis covered the design and synthesis of chemical probes for bromodomain containing proteins. Duncan received his MChem from the University of Edinburgh in 2003. From 2003-2011, he worked in Pfizer’s Discovery Chemistry labs at Sandwich, UK, working on various pre-clinical medicinal chemistry projects.
In 2014, Duncan joined Evotec, working as a Senior Scientist on a medicinal chemistry project at their site in Abingdon.
