Rate My Professor Matthew Tredwell

Dr Matthew Tredwell served as Senior Lecturer in Medicinal Chemistry in the School of Chemistry at Cardiff University from 2019 to 2026, with a joint appointment between the Schools of Chemistry and Medicine. He earned his undergraduate degree and PhD in organic chemistry from the University of Oxford in 2007. Following postdoctoral research positions at the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford, he launched his independent career as a group leader at the PET Centre, Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, before moving to the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in 2015. At Cardiff, Tredwell led several research projects funded by major UK research councils, including '18F-Difluoromethylation: The Missing Link in Radiochemistry for Positron Emission Tomography' (2021-2025), '18F-Fluorocubanes: Radiolabelled Bioisosteres of 18F-Aryl Fluorides' (2019-2021), 'Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral Cubanes' (2024-2027), 'Construction of 18F-Perfluorinated Motifs by Mechanistic Leverage with Fluorine' (2021-2024), and 'Electrifying the Synthesis of Fluorine-18 Radiotracers' (2020-2021). He also contributed as co-investigator on initiatives like 'Validation of an Improved Synthesis of 18F-Flumazenil' (2020-2021).
