A Short Note About Dr Terry Hennessey: Terry Hennessey qualified in Medicine at Oxford University where he was awarded a Doctor of Medicine for his research on antibiotic-resistant on enterobacteria (undertaken with Dr Naomi Datta at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School). Keenly aware of the need to consider the serious threat posed by drug-resistant infections, Terry joined Imperial Chemical Industries Pharmaceuticals (now part of AstraZeneca) where he initiated a wide range of in vitro and in vivo tests needed for the discovery and development of novel antibacterial agents. With his medical background, scientific excellence and natural authority Terry had a wide international network. Ever a Francophile, Terry’s team included a highly professional group of chemists at ICI’s research laboratory in Reims. Notable among Terry’s achievements at ICI was the development of chlorhexidine as ​‘Corsodyl’ in dental hygiene, and the novel broad-spectrum β‑lactam meropenem (originally developed by Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma Co. Ltd.).
