Research Interests
My current main research interest is the impurity profiling of amphetamine-type drugs of abuse.
Impurity profiling of drugs of abuse is an tool widely used by forensic scientists in the on-going fight against illegal drug trafficking and abuse. My main focus concerns the impurity profiling of newly emerging hallucinogenic amphetamines which have been reported in Europe.
While the impurity profiles of many drugs of abuse, including cocaine and heroin, have been well documented in the literature, newer amphetamine derivatives are constantly emerging on the European market. Recent examples include MBDB, 4-MTA, DOB and BromoDragonfly.
Characterisation and impurity profiling of seized amphetamines are used in conjunction with investigative work:
- To establish chemical links between batches of related drugs.
- To help identify new clandestine drug manufacturing laboratories and to monitor synthetic routes widely used in the synthesis of illicit amphetamines.
- To determine the toxicity, if any, of impurities which arise from the synthesis of amphetamines employing various different routes.
Impact of discipline:
- Results from my research group provide valuable information on the determination of how novel, so called “designer” hallucinogenic amphetamines are synthesised in clandestine laboratories. There are usually little published synthetic, analytical and detection method data available on these compounds upon their appearance ad drugs of abuse. The research area helps to fill this knowledge gap which is extremely important to national and international forensic detection facilities.
- My research also focuses on the independent synthesis of many of the novel impurities which are isolated.
- The ability to efficiently impurity profile a chemical process is a core skill of an industrial chemist. With the large number of pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in Ireland, postgraduates with specific experience in impurity profiling and strategies to minimise impurity formation are an obvious attraction to the industry. The experience gained by postgraduate students undertaking research in my chosen area will therefore be invaluable to the pharmaceutical industry.
I have being collaborating with Dr Dara Fitzpatrick in the capacity of provision of examples for applications of the analytical tool "Broadband Acoustic Resonance Dissolution Spectroscopy" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband_acoustic_resonance_dissolution_spectroscopy
I have also developed much interest in the theory and scholarship of teaching and learning. I am the pharmaceutical chemistry representative of the School of Pharmacy Teaching and Curriculum Committee. The School is currently in transition with the BPharm programme to an integrated 5 year format which is requiring a lot of redevelopment of the current programme.
My past PhD student, Dr. Dawn Griffin, is currently based at Pfizer in Ringaskiddy, Cork.

Teaching Activities
Teaching Interests
My main teaching interests are in the area of medicinal chemistry and organic chemistry.
Within these fields, I am particularly interested in the synthesis, characterisation and quality control of drugs and medicines used in both human and veterinary medicine, in addition to natural products which are used or can be adapted for use as medicines.
I teach and contribute on modules PF1009, PF1012, PF3009, PF3012, PF3015, PF3016, PF3109, PF4001, PF4004, PF6200, PT4447, CM3102, CM3022, CM3028, CM3101, CM4101, CM4108, CM4022, CM4100, CM4201, CM4202, CM7001, CM7002, CM7003
In recent years, I have developed increased interest in the theory of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, and how medicinal chemistry can be integrated into the UCC BPharm curriculum in a meaningful way. I am currently (2016) undertaking an MA in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education at UCC.
I have also developed a keen interest in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) of registered Irish pharmacists. As a result, I deliver CPD talks on behalf of the Irish Pharmacy Union (IPU) Autumn and Spring CPD programmes to qualified pharmacists. I am also on the Irish Institute of Pharmacy (IIOP) Steering Group which is involved in the establishment of structures CPD for Irish Pharmacists under the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland(PSI). I am also a member of the UCC Committee which is involved in establishing a CPD Centre in the College of Medicine and Health.
I am a member of the UCC School of Pharmacy Teaching and Curriculum Committee and was a member of the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland Accreditation Team for the Trinity College Dublin Pharmacy programme in March 2013.
