About the Project. We have recently shown that ynones armed with the synthetically versatile trifluoroborate functional group can be elaborated to a range of useful heteroaromatic building blocks (Ref 1) and that these offer useful platforms for drug discovery (Ref 2). Read more
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. As such, these molecules have the potential to be applied as a plastic or artificial blood product. Read more
Proteins bind and recognise each other using large surface areas. This recognition process is vital for a variety of biological applications. Read more
When proteins are synthesised (using a natural or cell-based method), they are contaminated with hundreds of other proteins, nucleic acids and numerous… Read more
We have worked with a number of water soluble polymer systems capable of encapsulating and solubilising various hydrophobic drug moieties. Despite the formation of stable complexes, we have demonstrated that encapsulated drug can also be released. Read more
Molecular glues, small molecules that facilitate the assembly of biomolecular complexes, have emerged as a transformative drug discovery strategy for treating diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Read more
Background. Transmembrane receptors in cell membranes, like G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), relay chemical messages into cells in a process called “signal transduction”. Read more
Metal centres with single unpaired electrons have great potential as qubit systems; the two spin-states of the electron (up and down) can be mapped onto classical bits 0 and 1, with additional superpositions of the states allowing for increased computational speed following Quantum Information Processing (QIP) algorithms compared to classical computer systems.

As the population ages and chronic illnesses rise, innovative solutions in tissue engineering are becoming increasingly vital for improving health outcomes. Read more
An EPSRC DTG-sponsored PhD studentship is available for an outstanding and ambitious chemist to undertake research in the field of synthetic inorganic chemistry in a collaborative project between three research groups at Manchester Chemistry. Read more
We are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated person to join our research team, BonLab (https://bonlab.info), at the University of Warwick as a PhD researcher to work on a fully funded (home fees + stipend) 4-year project in the area of sustainable polymer and colloid science. Read more
