Thomas is a Trainee Patent Attorney in the Life Sciences & Chemistry group at Kilburn & Strode and is currently training towards UK and European qualification.
Thomas completed his PhD research in Imaging Chemistry at Imperial College London and King’s College London, where he was awarded a Schrödinger Scholarship. His research focused on developing radioactive antibody- and peptide-based contrast agents for use in nuclear medicine, with a particular emphasis on PET imaging for cancer diagnosis. Following his PhD, Thomas undertook a postdoctoral research associate position where he focused on developing novel switchable organic and organometallic compounds with potential applications in thermoelectric and energy harvesting materials.
Prior to his PhD, Thomas graduated from Imperial College London with an MRes in Bioimaging Sciences and a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry. His master’s project focused on designing bifunctional phosphine-based ligands for radiometal chelation.
Thomas’s interdisciplinary research experience at the intersection of chemistry and life sciences has equipped him with expertise in areas such as synthetic and bioconjugation chemistry, antibody conjugates, radiochemistry and medical imaging, to name a few.
