David Soulsby Ph.D.
About Dr. Soulsby
David Soulsby is a Professor of Chemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Redlands. He teaches an array of courses with an emphasis in organic chemistry. Working alongside undergraduate students, his research focuses on the development of new reactions that can be used in pharmaceutical drug development, the use of NMR spectroscopy to measure biological processes, and the integration of NMR spectroscopy into the undergraduate curriculum. All three areas have resulted in numerous publications and presentations.
