Jamie is a third year DPhil student working on the development of chiral N-F fluorinating reagents. He completed his MChem at Balliol College, Oxford and spent his part II year in the Gouverneur group working on PET tracers for tumour imaging. Outside of the lab he can be found in the garage repairing his mini or playing tennis, badminton, squash or football.

Ida Sofia Stenhagen received her MSci degree in Medicinal Chemistry from University College London. She is a third year DPhil student working on electrophilic fluorine-18 labelling for PET-imaging in collaboration with GE Healthcare and Turku PET Centre. She is funded by a BBSRC CASE award. In her spare time she enjoys discovering obscure bands and going to the cinema.

Charley completed her BSc and MSc at the University of York in 2008. She is currently working on palladium catalysed nucleophilic fluorination, and is funded by a DTA award. Outside the lab she enjoys going to gigs and playing badminton.

George Blessley is funded by a GSK CASE award, working on asymmetric fluorocyclization and metal catalysed defluorinations. He completed his MSci at Downing College, Cambridge under the supervision of Paul Barker, working on the synthesis of click-linked porphyrins. When he isn't in the lab, you will probably find him on the river.

Elena Benedetto is a third year DPhil student from Merton College. She is investigating platinum catalysed allylic substitution, and is funded by a European fellowship. She received her MSci in Organic Chemistry at the University of Bologna, where she worked on organocatalytic stereoselective alpha-alkylation of aldehydes under the supervision of Prof. P.G. Cozzi.
