The Noble Lab is a synthetic organic chemistry research group based in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol, UK.
Our research focuses on the development of synthetic methodologies to improve the efficiency of organic synthesis.
In particular, we are interested in using visible light as a sustainable energy source to help achieve these goals.
