Michael Meanwell Hired by the University of Alberta

 Congratulations to Dr. Michael Meanwell, who has very recently begun his independent career at the University of Alberta as the Manley and Marian Johnston Professor of Chemistry. In 2014, Dr. Meanwell finished his BSc in chemistry at the University of British Columbia and immediately joined the lab of Professor Tom M. Fyles at the University of Victoria where he studied lipid nanoparticle assembly for drug delivery. A year later, Dr. Meanwell began his PhD studies with Professor Robert Britton at Simon Fraser University where he worked on nucleoside synthesis, C-H fluorination, and organocatalysis. In 2020, Michael joined Phil Baran’s Lab at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California as a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow. During his time there, Michael worked on the development of electrochemical organic reactions and natural product synthesis. Dr. Meanwell’s current research interests rest at the intersection of materials science, organic chemistry, and drug discovery. Check out the Meanwell Research Lab @
