Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Chemistry Dr Lorraine Bateman obtained her degree in Chemistry & Applied Chemistry from NUI, Galway where she also studied for her PhD, graduating in 2006. Her doctoral research was conducted in the area of chiral diamide ligand synthesis and asymmetric catalysis under the supervision of Dr. Simon W. Breeden and Dr. Patrick O’Leary. She subsequently worked as an industrial research chemist in the area of chiral phosphine ligand synthesis with Celtic Catalysts Ltd. She joined University College Cork as a NMR Spectroscopist at the Analytical and Biological Research Facility at University College Cork. In 2014, Lorraine was awarded an SFI Advance Award to pursue independent research in the area of Quantitative NMR Spectroscopy. In 2017, she was appointed as Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Chemistry.
