The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings provide a globally recognised forum for exchange between Nobel Laureates and young scientists. They inspire scientific generations and build sustainable networks of young scientists around the world.
Congratulations to Peter Gallagher, Research Fellow (Goldup Group) who has been selected to attend the 74th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting from 29 June to 4 July 2025. The theme of the Lindau Meetings alternates between the three Nobel Prize scientific disciplines, Physics, Chemistry or Physiology/Medicine, with the theme of this year's meeting being Chemistry.
The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings provide a globally recognised forum for exchange between Nobel Laureates and young scientists. They inspire scientific generations and build sustainable networks of young scientists around the world.
Peter was selected as the candidate for University of Birmingham by his Supervisor Professor Steve Goldup, with support from Professor Adam Tickell and Professor Neil Champness.
Lindau Young Scientists represent the next generation of leading scientists and researchers and when they leave on the last day, they become Lindau Alumni. More than 35,000 Young Scientists have taken part in the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. As Lindau Alumni, they are part of a unique community of excellence.
Peter completed his undergraduate studies at Southampton University, with his Master’s research project in the group of Professor Stephen Goldup. Remaining in Southampton, Peter pursued his PhD in the Goldup group focussed on the synthesis of mechanically stereogenic molecules.
Following the move of the research group in 2023, he completed his studies at the University of Birmingham as a visiting researcher. During his PhD, he synthesised the first-ever examples of rotaxanes bearing mechanically axially chiral and type-2 mechanical geometric stereogenic units, and also investigated factors influencing facial selectivity in mechanical bond formation for which he received the RSC MASC Interest Group Thesis Prize for his thesis titled, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Mechanical Stereochemistry".
