Martin Gerhardt Banwell (born 24 November 1954) is an organic chemist specialising in biotransformations and natural product synthesis.
His research interests involve the enzymatic preparation of organic molecules as synthons or building blocks for complex natural products. This technology/methodology is then applied to the synthesis of complex marine natural products from the Great Barrier Reef.
