个人简介
Professor Munro graduated with a Ph.D. in bioinorganic chemistry (heme-peptide model systems for heme proteins) from WITS University in April 1996. He then spent 18 months as a post-doctoral researcher working on the synthesis, spectroscopy, X-ray structures, and molecular simulations of iron porphyrins with Prof. Robert Scheidt at the University of Notre Dame (Indiana, USA).
In July 1997 he joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of Natal (which became the University of KwaZulu-Natal in 2004), where he continued to work on metalloporphyrins and other functional coordination compounds until July 2015. While at UKZN, Prof. Munro served a 3-year term (2012-2015) as Academic Leader – Chemistry on the Pietermaritzburg campus in the School of Chemistry & Physics.
Professor Munro is a member of the American and South African Chemical Societies, and the recipient of numerous awards, including the National Research Foundation (NRF) President’s Award (2000), the Vice Chancellor’s Research Award (UKZN, 2007), and the Raikes Medal of the South African Chemical Institute (2008). In 2011/2012 Prof. Munro held a Visiting Fulbright Scholarship at the University of Central Florida (College of Medicine) working with Prof. Mark Muller on mechanistic studies of a new class of gold-based anticancer compounds. He is a participant in the Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP) of the NIH (USA).
In 2014, Professor Munro was awarded the SASOL Innovator of the Year Medal for his work on novel anticancer metallodrugs. Prof. Munro rejoined WITS University from August 2015 through December 2022 as the DST/NRF SA Research Chair in Bioinorganic Chemistry. In 2023, Professor Munro joined the School of Chemistry at the University of Leeds in the UK.
Professor Munro has published more than 90 papers in ISI-rated international journals, including 6 full papers in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. His contributions to the scientific literature have been cited more than 2300 times (current h-index, 28) and include two US patents (one currently in the published application phase). Notably, Professor Munro has through both supervision and co-supervision graduated 11 PhD students and 14 MSc students. Numerous (> 25) Chemistry Honours students have completed successful research projects in his group which focuses on the chemistry and biochemistry of metal chelates and macrocycles.
