He grew up in
Durham, England
and was educated at
Durham Johnston School
and briefly at
King Edward VI High School, Stafford
.
[2]
Having gained an Open Exhibition to
Christ Church, Oxford
, he read Chemistry at the
University of Oxford
, where he gained a First Class degree in 1978, and a DPhil in 1980,working with John Brown FRS,
[5]
based on mechanistic studies in asymmetric catalysis.

Career and research
[
edit
]
In 1980, he was appointed to a
NATO
Fellowship to work with
Jean-Marie Lehn
(Nobel Prize, 1987),
[9]
and was appointed to a Lectureship in Chemistry at
Durham University
, beginning in January 1982. He became Chair Professor of Chemistry at
Hong Kong Baptist University
in September 2022.

Parker's research investigates the design and synthesis of chiral functional molecules, materials and conjugates and has straddled the traditional disciplines of Physical, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry. Often collaborating with European and UK industry, he has worked on collaborative projects leading to the introduction of imaging
[11]
[12]
and therapeutic agents,
[13]
including the antibody conjugate
MyloTarg
.
Awards and honours
[
edit
]
Parker gained recognition from the
Royal Society of Chemistry
, being awarded, among other prizes, the
Corday-Morgan Medal
(1987),
[14]
Ludwig Mond Medal (2011), the
Hickinbottom Award
(1988),
[15]
an Interdisciplinary Award (RSC, 1996),
[16]
a
Tilden
Lectureship (2003)
[17]
and the
Ludwig Mond
Prize and Medal (2011).
[18]
In 2002 he was elected a
Fellow of the Royal Society
(FRS)
[19]
and gained the
ICI Prize
in Organic Chemistry in 1991 and the
Lecoq de Boisbaudran
prize in rare earth science in 2012.
[20]
In 2014, he was made an
EPSRC
RISE Fellow, recognising inspiration in science and engineering.
