After
receiving his doctoral degree, Dr. Wilkinson completed post-doctoral
work at Yale University in the synthesis of precursors in the
biosynthetic pathway of penicillins and morphine alkaloids.
He then taught at Michigan State University, and began teaching
at Wheaton in 1980. Dr. Wilkinson is currently interested in
the synthetic methods of alkaloids and enjoys working with students
on a variety of research projects in synthetic organic chemistry.
Dr. Wilkinson is an avid Bible reader and enjoys arranging
and playing hymns on the classical guitar.
