Molly Lightowler

Molly joined Potter Clarkson in 2022, bringing a strong academic research background to the chemistry team.

As part of her master’s degree at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, Molly undertook a year-long industrial placement at the Helleday Laboratory, Sweden, working with early drug discovery processes in the medicinal chemistry team.

For her final-year research project, she designed zeolite-polymer composites for use as antibacterial coatings for medical devices.

Molly then moved back to Sweden to complete a PhD in inorganic chemistry at Stockholm University, where she studied polymorphism in pharmaceuticals using electron diffraction.
