As an undergraduate, Jonathan Behrendt studied for a B.Sc. in Chemistry and Law from the University of Exeter, where he was awarded a 2.1 hons. degree in 2001. He went on to study for a Ph.D. in chemistry at University College London, with Dr. Helen Hailes. His Ph.D. research project focused on the use of polymeric supports for the synthesis of structurally defined oligomers and cyclic ethers. Having been awarded his Ph.D. in 2005, he is currently working on the synthesis and functionalization of polystyrene microspheres as cellular delivery vectors, in the research group of Dr. Andy Sutherland at Aston University.
