Richard Conrad "Con" Cambie (born 1931) is a New Zealand natural products chemist known for his research into bioactive compounds.
Born in 1931, Cambie was educated at Tauranga College.[1] He attended Auckland University College, graduating with an MSc with first-class honours in 1955 and a PhD in 1958.[2] Appointed to the staff of chemistry department at Auckland in 1958,[3] Cambie then studied at the University of Oxford, where he was awarded a DPhil in 1963.[4]
He returned to the University of Auckland and, following the retirement of L.H. Briggs in 1969, he was appointed to a professorial chair.[5] For a time he also served as assistant vice-chancellor (student services).[6] On his retirement in 1996 Cambie was granted the title of professor emeritus.[7]
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1966,[8] and the following year he was awarded the society's Hector Medal, New Zealand's highest science honour at that time.[9]
