Colin Cameron, Research Scientist in the McFarland Group, is nominally an electrochemist, but his career has covered diverse interests, including materials-based actuation, electrochemical energy storage and conversion, electromagnetic projectile weapons, polymer failure analysis, experimental aerospace coatings, and managing a naval fuels and lubrication laboratory. He holds a patent for a buoyancy engine, he ran his own consulting company, and, with Sherri McFarland, co-founded the biotech startup PhotoDynamic Inc. to commercialize a light-activated plant-sourced antibiotic. He is currently working in drug discovery, using spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques to reveal and optimize the mechanisms by which certain compounds become potent photochemical cytotoxic agents.
When he’s not at work, Colin likes to play with his horses and sometimes he pretends to be a musician.
