Metal-based Heterobifunctional Scaffolds to Capture Challenging Proteins
A 2025 Crick PhD project with Jeannine Hess. . Bioinorganic chemistry is an exciting and rapidly growing research area with the potential to address biological challenges through the use of metal-based compounds. Read more
Detecting epitranscriptomic signatures in circulating cell-free RNA for early cancer detection
Although recent advances in cancer research offer new ways to treat cancer, early detection still represents the best opportunity for curing cancer. Read more
Low Valent Main Group Synthesis
Research activities in Kilian and Cowley group focus on the design and synthesis of novel compounds and new reactivity, driven by the demand for more sustainable and economical chemical processes. Read more
Intelligent optimisation of inline purification – delivering automated product profiling for pharma
Purification is a critical part of pharmaceutical process chemistry, to a) quantify and optimise product purity and yield, and b) characterise impurities for robust safety testing and the impact on down-stream steps. Read more
Novel biocatalysts for amide and peptide bond synthesis
Background. The industrial transformation towards sustainable chemical manufacturing, that is essentialto meet net-zero goals in the future, emphasisesthe use of eco-friendly, bio-based resources, thus minimising the need for petrochemicals and reducing carbon emissions, waste and energy requirements. Read more
Chemical biology of lectins in diagnostics for pathogenic bacteria
This project will use glycopeptide mRNA-display to characterise the overall binding specificity of lectins to improve diagnostic tests for infectious bacteria. Read more
Unlocking Longevity: A Strategy to Combat Ageing with Novel Enzyme Inhibitors.
Our understanding of how gut bacteria influence health is rapidly evolving, exploring how the balance of these bacteria might affect diseases, such as ageing. Read more
A Build-couple-transform approach to diverse macrocyclic libraries for antimicrobial drug discovery.
Within neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), leishmaniasis is endemic in over 90 countries, impacting at least 12 million people per year.1 Macrocycles, organic molecules incorporating a ring of ≥12 heavy atoms, have vast potential for the development of new treatments for leishmaniasis2 and other NTDs and infectious diseases. Read more
A phenotypic approach to generate new chemical tools within novel chemical space
Small molecule probes are increasingly important in developing our understanding of intracellular processes, giving the potential for real time quantification of behaviour at a sub-microscopic scale and permitting future pharmacological intervention. Read more
