Current research

Group research focuses on the use of organic synthesis to address problems in biology, medicine and materials; working in collaboration with experts in their respective fields. The primary approach is structure guided rational design followed by synthesis and evaluation. 

RCUK, including the BBSRC and EPSRC, have supported a broad range of research projects, including:

Protein-protein interaction inhibition

Tools to interrogate protein misfolding conditions

Foldamers: programmable 3D architectures

Molecular recognition
