Alistair Keith Miller
Biography
I am a highly experience synthetic organic chemist with 27 years' experience in industry.
I am an organfluorine chemist by training with a deep appreciation of the application of this cornerstone element to AgriPharma arena.
I have worked on numerous projects in pharma including neurology, rheumatology and oncology.
I have run my own R&D business for the past 16 years specialising in the design of novel fluorinated intermediates and candidates for agrochemical discovery for a conglomerate in Japan (ISK). A considerable number of my compounds have been demonstrated to be highly efficacious.
I have worked in the late state development of recently launched fungicide for a leading German chemical company (BASF).
More recently, I have been workintg over the past 5 years as the director of chemistry for an agrochemical R&D organisation (Redag Crop Ltd). I have consequently specialised knowledge in the design, synthesis and biology of candidates for assessment as potential crop protection agents, a number of which have been demonstrated to be highly active entities.
As of 2015, I have been an honorary senior lecturer in Biosciences at the University of Exeter.
