Chemist Ryan Gilmour, a Professor at Münster University, has been appointed a Fellow of Britain's Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). "In Britain this is a great honour for any chemist, and it's a high point in my career" says a delighted Ryan Gilmour, who heads a research group in the Cells-in-Motion Cluster of Excellence. As a Fellow of this British community of researchers, CiM Professor Gilmour aims to raise still further the international profile of natural sciences at Münster. Ryan Gilmour, born in Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1980, carries out research on molecular design at the Institute of Organic Chemistry at Münster University. His research group is trying to create molecules with precisely defined properties, for example artificial carbohydrates which "recognize" molecular structures in the body and dock on to certain spots "receptors". These receptors could then be made visible with the aid of molecular imaging and enable statements to be made on metabolic processes and diseases. Academic career CiM Professor Ryan Gilmour took his PhD at the University of Cambridge in England, and after that he undertook research at the Max Planck Institute of Coal Research in Mülheim an der Ruhr, and at Zurich Technical University (ETH) in Switzerland.
