Designing Auto-Inserting Artificial Ion-Channels as Novel Antibiotics.
Antimicrobial resistance is a significant global threat, causing ~700,000 deaths each year. By 2050, this number is predicted to be 10 million, with the rate of new resistance significantly outstripping the rate of discovery of new antibiotics. Read more
Understanding Atmospheric Nucleation of Secondary Organic Aerosol Through the Synthesis and Analysis of Monoterpene Derivatives and Their Clusters
One of the major challenges of our lifetime is climate change. Aerosols play a vital role in our climate by partially counteracting the warming caused by greenhouse gases. Read more
Discovering Chemical Tools to Target Membranes
Lipids are critically important molecules underpinning a diverse range of essential biological functions. Together with proteins, they are major constituents of all cellular membranes. Read more
Co-chaperone/antioxidant Interactions in Cancer
Impaired protein quality control, in the crowded cellular environment, is associated with a wide range of diseases, including cancer. Read more
Enhancing Biocatalysis with Electrons
Enzymes are increasingly being used as biocatalysts for a number of industrial processes.[1] However, despite their great potential for biocatalysis, the current usage of enzymes in industry remains critically low. Read more
Single-Protein Approaches to Mechano-Enzymology
Enzymatic catalysis is a prominent example of the rich, yet complex, dynamism inherent in any biomolecular process, and illustrative of how an atomic, but static, crystallographic picture of protein machinery is insufficient to provide a complete mechanistic description. Read more
Capturing Membrane Protein Folding and Misfolding on the Ribosome
Membrane proteins underlie virtually all physiological processes. These proteins reside in cell membranes and govern all transport and communication in and out of cells. Read more
Unravelling the structure and conformational dynamics of membrane proteins using H/D-exchange mass spectrometry and cryo-EM
A dynamic studentship which includes experience working in both academic and pharmaceutical industry environments. the project is performed in partnership between laboratories at both King’s College London and UCB Pharma (Slough, 20 miles West of Central London). Read more
