Dr. Antony John Williams
Antony John Williams, Ph.D. is
President of
ChemZoo and on the Editorial Board of
Journal of Cheminformatics.
He received the 1988 Bourne Medal from the University of London.
ChemZoo is the host of ChemSpider. ChemSpider is an Open Access website
established with the intention of creating a structure centric community
for chemists. The website delivers access to over 18.5 million unique
chemical structures. It is visited by over 6,000 chemists per day and
with over 250,000 transactions performed per week, ChemSpider is fast
becoming a primary resource for chemists around the world. ChemSpider is
a valuable resource to assist chemists in sourcing chemicals from
vendors, accessing Open Access literature and accessing information
across over 150 data sources.

Tony earned his Bsc (Hons) in Chemistry at the Liverpool University, UK
in 1985 with the thesis “NMR Studies of Electron Exchange in Vitamin E
Related Systems”. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of
London, UK in 1988 with the thesis “Applications of High Pressure NMR to
the Studies of Molecular Motions in Alkyl Chains”.
He did his postdoctoral work at the National
Research Council,
Ottawa, Canada where he studied
applications of single crystal electron paramagnetic resonance.
