Dr. Paul Murray

Paul Murray Catalysis Consulting provides clients with expertise in the field of catalysis across all stages of development and manufacture. The company also offers training and consulting in the use of advanced Design of Experiments (DoE) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Linking PCA with DoE enables the comparison of diverse chemicals such as solvents or ligands to each other and their efficient investigation within experimental design.

CatScI is a UK based company with extensive knowledge and expertise in a wide range of chemistry R&D activities at all stages of the project timeline, from discovery chemistry through to full scale manufacturing and life-cycle management. CSO providing expertise in catalysis, automation, design of experiments, multivariate analysis, while continuing to expand the CatScI catalysis capability.

I started working as a process chemist in AstraZeneca in September 1998. In 2003 I became involved in the AstraZeneca Catalysis Group where I designed and set up our first dedicated catalyst screening facility. This facility now provides a service to AstraZeneca Process R&D globally as well as supporting Discovery chemistry.

My PhD was carried out under the supervision of Professor T Brian H McMurry on “The synthesis of selected heterocyclic compounds as potential inhibitors of O6-alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase (ATase)”

My Natural Sciences Degree included Chemisty, Physics, Maths and Biology
