Andrew Jamieson was born in Glasgow and raised in Strathaven, Scotland. In 2003, he completed a BSc Honours degree (1st Class) in Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Glasgow. He later pursued a Ph.D. at the same institution, researching new substrate-directed, palladium-catalyzed aza-Claisen rearrangement techniques for synthesizing natural products. After his Ph.D., he completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Montreal, Canada, working on novel synthetic methods for peptide secondary structures. He subsequently worked at Yale University on designing peptide beta-strand mimetics before moving to the University of Oxford. In August 2010, he began a lectureship in the Centre for Chemical Biology at the University of Leicester, UK. In July 2016, he was appointed as a senior lecturer in Chemical Biology at the University of Glasgow's School of Chemistry. His research group focuses on the synthesis of peptides and peptidomimetics aimed at probing biological mechanisms associated with cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
