Rate My Professor Gavin Miller

In 2016, Professor Miller joined Keele University in the Faculty of Natural Sciences as a Lecturer in Organic Chemistry, advancing to Senior Lecturer and then Professor of Biological Chemistry in 2021. At Keele, he directed the Centre for Glycoscience and led the Miller Research Group, focusing on chemical and chemoenzymatic synthesis of carbohydrates, nucleoside analogues, and tools for chemical biology to explore polysaccharide structure-function relationships and non-native motifs in medicinal chemistry. His scholarly output includes over 117 publications with more than 2,500 citations, notable among them 'Unifying the synthesis of nucleoside analogs' in Science (2020). Professor Miller has earned major accolades, including the Royal Society of Chemistry Dextra Award (2021) for carbohydrate chemistry research, the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship (2020, £1.2 million), Fellowship of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC, 2025), Chartered Scientist (CSci, 2019), and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA, 2017). He has served in key roles such as Chair of the RSC Carbohydrate Interest Group (2021-2023), Secretary (2019-2020), member of RSC councils and prize committees, EPSRC/UKRI peer review colleges, and Editorial Board member of Carbohydrate Research (from 2025).
