Synthesis of Artificial blood
Inspired by Nature, we have developed a number of porphyrin containing biomimetic macromolecules. These have included a porphyrin cored polymer capable of reversibly binding oxygen. Read more
New macro-ligands for protein binding, and drug delivery.
Proteins bind and recognise each other using large surface areas. This recognition process is vital for a variety of biological applications. Read more
The design of next-generation synthetic transcriptional activators: a new therapeutic platform for the treatment of triplet expansion diseases
Background – One of the holy grails of genetic medicine is to develop molecular therapies which can correct aberrant gene expression. Read more

EPSRC Doctoral Training Partnership: Exploiting Pharmacologically Silent Regions in Adrenomedullin Antagonists to Address Disease
The hormone adrenomedullin acts through multiple complex heteromeric receptors, and plays a key role in modulating diseases such as migraine, sepsis and cancer. Read more
New Synthetic Methods to Prepare Conformationally Restricted Scaffolds
Closing Date. Open until filled. Department. GlaxoSmithKline Carbon Neutral Laboratories for Sustainable Chemistry (School of Chemistry). Read more
A microfluidic toolkit for drug delivery particle discovery

Design of novel inhibitors of AIM-2 for the treatment of inflammation.
Inflammation is a contributing factor in a range of therapeutic areas including stroke, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. A cause of Inflammation is through the activation of multi-protein complexes called inflammasomes, which facilitates the release of cytokines, including IL-1b. Read more
Chemical glycoengineering of therapeutic antibodies
Glycosylation is the most common posttranslational protein modification. Recombinant therapeutic glycoproteins (RTGs) such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are decorated with complex glycans that determine not only their efficacy but also other critical parameters such as in vivo half-life, stability and antigenicity.

Biocatalytic synthesis of deuterium-stabilised pharmaceuticals (sponsored by AstraZeneca)
A fully-funded PhD studentship is available for an outstanding and ambitious chemist to undertake research in the field of biotechnology and pharmaceutical chemistry in a collaborative project between the Future Biomanufacturing Research Hub and AstraZeneca. Read more
The development of metal-based antibiotics
Background. Due to the widespread rise in microbial resistance, new classes of antimicrobial agents are urgently needed. However, only very few of the compounds in clinical development represent new structural classes. Read more
Developing Drugs from Natural Product Scaffolds
Research Group:
Chemistry
We wish to synthesise druglike entities starting from a natural product scaffold that we can acquire in gram quantities. This will involve chemical synthesis, late-stage functionalisation, atom economical catalysis, mechanochemistry, use of preparative HPLC, microwaves, flow chemistry. Read more
