Mark Goodall obtained his BSc. in Chemistry from The University of Manchester in 2008. After graduation, he remained at The University of Manchester and worked towards a PhD in biological chemistry under the supervision of Professor Jason Micklefield. His PhD research was in the area of enzyme catalysis, centring on the chemistry of aryl malonate decarboxylase enzymes and their substrates.
