Chemical Biology tools

Chris Coxon is a medicinal chemist and chemical biologist at the University of Edinburgh. His research interests are in peptide design, synthesis and the effects and applications of fluorination to control and study peptide and protein folding, recognition and assembly.

The Willison Group’s research interests cover a range of topics including eukaryotic protein folding and single molecule approaches to protein dynamics and protein counting.

Andy Wilson is a Professor in the School of Chemistry. The Wilson group are interested in the application of synthetic molecules to problems in Chemical Biology and Materials Science. We pursue both curiosity driven fundamental research and mission inspired research addressing societal challenges.

Nick's group focuses on the development of new bioconjugation methodologies. Current projects include the exploration of photocatalytic, biocatalytic, and electrochemical methods for the site-selective modification of peptides and proteins.

Manuel is the head of a lab that focuses on developing and applying chemical biology tools to elucidate how proteins are controlled by post-translational modifications.

Steven is the Director of the Biophysical Sciences institute and his research group uses a range of methods and techniques in synthetic organic, peptoid and peptide chemistry to tackle interesting and challenging biological problems.
