Dr Nick Green joined John Sutherland's group at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, in 2017 as a Career Development Fellow, to study the chemical origins of life. During this time, he was appointed as a Research Associate of Homerton College, Cambridge, where he now is an Associate Fellow. Nick started his career working on catalysis and novel hydrocarbon structures with Mick Sherburn, but his interests have morphed towards chemistry for the study of (pre)biology and applications within it.
