Thomas Group
@SPThomasGroup
We are a small, close-knit and enthusiastic team whose work focuses on the development of new catalytic methodologies for organic synthesis.
A great PhD opportunity to work with Prof. Mike Ingleson involving collaboration with us and Prof Allan Watson at St Andrews @allanjbwatson findaphd.com/phds/project/d…

We will be leaving the platform come February so please add us on LinkedIn here linkedin.com/in/ and follow us on BlueSky @spthomasgroup.bsky.social
Congratulations to our old group member @AlexBismuto and his group's latest JACS publication! doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4…
And another in the same week! Our collaboration with Prof Mike Ingleson has been published in Angewandte @angew_chem as well. Read it below. doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…
Congratulations @SPThomasGroup, a lovely way to bring in 2025 🥳

Congratulations Dr Gordon! It’s been a pleasure working with you over the years, you will be sorely missed in the group. All the best for the future! Love from the Past/Present Thomas Group Members.


A huge congratulations to the newly minted Dr McGuff on passing his viva yesterday to conclude a hugely successful PhD! @john_mcguff Big thanks to @RhPdCu and @SPThomasGroup for doing the honors!
Congratulations to Julie who got her first publication in @JOC_OL this week! Check it out here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Congratulations to Dr Nojus Cironis who passed his viva on Tuesday! Thank you Nojus for all your hard work in the group. We would also like to thank Professor Allan Watson and Dr Andrés García-Domínguez for being his examiners. All the best in the future Nojus!


Happy PostDoc appreciation week to Alistair, Sarah and Neil who have been endlessly helpful to the rest of the group!

Steve is in University College Cork for a viva and talk today. Catch him there today!
Steve, Mike and Julie had a great time at the Beilstein Organic Chemistry Symposium. A fantastic week of great talks and inspiring discussions. We hope everyone enjoyed the conference as much as we did. Time to fly back to Edinburgh!




Congratulations to Kieran and Sarah on their allylation of indoles paper getting published in Chemical Communcations! @ChemCommun doi.org/10.1039/D4CC03…
