David Soulsby Ph.D.

David Soulsby is a professor of chemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Redlands. He teaches a range of courses with an emphasis on organic chemistry. Working alongside undergraduate students, his research focuses on the development of new reactions for 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.
