The research interests of the White group focus on:
- Physical organic chemistry: Applications of the Structure Correlation principle, where the early stages of organic reactions can be mapped out in the solid state. Isolation and structural characterisation of reactive intermediates.
- Radiopharmaceuticals: Organic molecules labeled with radioactive nuclei for PET imaging of hypoxic tissue, and in combination with antitumour antibodies in radioimmunotherapy.
- Conductive polymers : Synthesis and characterisations of novel conductive polymers for biosensing agents, LED/LECs
Techniques include: Organic synthesis, mass spectrometry, single crystal x- ray crystallography.
