Biography
Dr Pfeffer received his PhD from Deakin University in 2001. He then spent a year lecturing at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) then a further 14 months at TCD as a postdoctoral research fellow working with Professor Thorfinnur Gunnlaugsson on the synthesis and evaluation of fluorescent anion sensors.
Dr Pfeffer returned to Deakin in 2004 to the faculty of Science and Technology as a lecturer and was appointed senior Lecturer in 2009. He continues to pursue research in the field of supramolecular anion recognition chemistry but has also developed several successful medicinal chemistry programs including the synthesis of new antibiotics, anticancer agents and also insulin sensitising antidiabetic agents. At the core of these programs is the appreciation and understanding of how molecules interact and interconvert—fundamental topics in chemistry.
As at Aug 2015 he has >60 peer reviewed publications, over 2500 citations and a H-index of 21.
