Resumo: “Jason Davis is a Professor of Chemistry at Oxford & Senior Tutor in Chemistry at Christ Church. His group have published almost 200 research papers (averaging almost 50 citations per paper) in leading journals. His research interests are broad and primarily focused on the design and utilisation of functional Interfaces, particularly those associated with molecular recognition and switching. This has included the design and generation of a broad range of responsive nanoparticulate systems, tools whereby supramolecular ion binding can be tracked by capacitance, modulated by local redox switches, surface polarisations or local dielectric. His team has invented new ways of transducing (macro)molecular recognition; open circuit potential methods, shotgun methods, rapid kinetic quantification, magnetic field-promoted target capture, and the use of antigen mimic nanoparticles to capture cancer antibodies. Davis is a founder of Osler Diagnostics, a company that has now raised more than £300 million and employs more than 150 people. He was born in London, and lives in rural Oxfordshire with his wife, daughter and direwolves.”
