Biography
Gordon Rewcastle obtained his PhD in Organic Chemistry from The University of Auckland, and after post-doctoral work in the US he joined the Auckland Cancer Society Research Centre (ACSRC) as a medicinal chemist in 1980. Since then he has worked on a number of projects involving the design and synthesis of novel anticancer and antibacterial agents. He is an Associate Investigator in the Maurice Wilkins Centre for Molecular Biodiscovery.
