Background
Charles obtained his PhD in the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Bayreuth (Germany) under the supervision of Professor Birgit Weber. During this time, he worked on the design and preparation of novel molecular magnetic switches with an optical read-out, for applications in the domains of sensors and memory devices.
After obtaining the PhD, he received a Research Fellowship from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft to join the Institut de Science et d’Ingénierie Supramoléculaires in Strasbourg (France) where he developed platinum(II) luminescent probes capable to follow the aggregation of peptides.
In June 2020, Charles joined the THT Group’s Translational Chemistry Team as GMP Chemist, and since 2023 as Translational Chemistry Manager. His role includes the development of synthetic pathway, formulation and GMP manufacture of the fluorescent probes to be used in clinical trials.
