Christopher A. Hunter

“I was born in Dunedin in New Zealand, but then lived in Nigeria before my parents settled in Ireland. Following an undergraduate degree in Natural Sciences, I stayed at the University of Cambridge for a PhD in the Chemistry Department,” says Chris Hunter. He then decided to revisit New Zealand and took a lectureship in bioorganic chemistry at the University of Otago. He later moved to the University of Sheffield before returning to the University of Cambridge in 2014 as the Herchel Smith Professor of Organic Chemistry.
