Beschreibung:
Michael Sinnott received his first degree in Chemistry from University of Oxford in 1966 and a PhD in Organic Chemistry from Bristol in 1968. After a postdoctoral at Stanford in Bioorganic Chemistry, he returned to Bristol and progressed up the academic ranks until he left, as Reader in Bioorganic Chemistry, in 1987 to become Professor of Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He returned to the United Kingdom in 1996 for family reasons becoming Professor of Paper Science at UMIST. Progression of longstanding orthopaedic problems facilitated his retirement from UMIST, but he continues his scholarly and research supervision activities at University of Huddersfield. He has published 120 research papers, two books, and edited and contributed to the four-volume set ""Comprehensive Biological Catalysis.""
