Ms Freda Chio
Freda was born in Macau, in 1985. She moved to the UK with her family as a teenager and grew up in the city of Birmingham. She graduated in 2009 in Pharmaceutical Chemistry at Queen Mary, University of London where she carried out her MSci project working on the synthesis and polymerisation of 2,3-diaminopropionic acid derivatives.
She started her PhD studies at the same university in September 2009 under the supervision of Dr. Adrian Dobbs. The research is focused on developing the aza-silyl-Prins reaction into a viable route for the synthesis of tetrahydropyridines and to elaborate the work to the aza-Prins reaction for the synthesis of piperidines.
Starting from May 1st 2010, she joined the NASCENT programme as an early stage researcher in Marie Curie Network for 3 months at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM). She will be working on the preparation of magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer particles.
