UoG C-SMART | Centre for Synthesis, Materials, Analytics, and Research in Translational Science

C-SMART is about breaking silos — uniting researchers through molecular science to drive innovation, accelerate impact, and develop cleaner, smarter technologies for a more sustainable future - Professor Kevin Lam, Professor of Synthetic Electrochemistry and C-SMART Centre Lead The Centre for Synthesis, Materials, Analytics, and Research in Translational Science (C-SMART) is a vibrant research hub at the University of Greenwich. We drive innovation in molecular science to address global challenges related to health, sustainability, and technology. By bringing together leading expertise in molecular synthesis, advanced materials, analytical science, translational chemistry, and clean energy, we deliver high-impact solutions across academia, industry, and society. Our work ranges from laboratory-scale discovery to real-world application. We create smart molecules and functional materials, develop state-of-the-art analytical platforms, and translate fundamental science into solutions, such as breakthrough diagnostics, greener chemical processes, and new materials for energy storage. C-SMART is built around five core pillars: •Synthesis: Green, scalable and programmable chemistry •Materials: High-performance, sustainable materials for real-world use •Analytics: Integrated, high-resolution characterisation at every scale. •Translational science: From molecules to medicines, coatings and devices. •Energy: Molecular approaches to storage, conversion and sustainability.
