The Warren group
Warren was educated at Cheadle Hulme School near Manchester and read the Natural Sciences Tripos at Trinity College, Cambridge. He stayed at Cambridge to complete a PhD under Malcolm Clark, before moving to Harvard to carry out post-doctoral research with F. H. Westheimer. Dr. Warren returned to Trinity as a research fellow, and in 1971 took up a post as a teaching fellowship at Churchill College.[4] He remained a lecturer and researcher in the Department of Chemistry at Cambridge until his retirement in 2006.[5] He won the Royal Society of Chemistry Bader Award in 2002.[6] Following his death the RSC produced a themed collection of his work.[7]
