Host-Guest Complexes

Jamie Lewis is a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Associate Professor in Supramolecular Chemistry at the University of Birmingham. His group's research interests are broadly in the design and synthesis of functional supramolecular molecules and materials, including organic and metal-organic cages, coordination polymers, and mechanically interlocked molecules.

The Lusby group has established itself as pioneers in the field of application-led supramolecular chemistry, developing methods in catalysis, biomedicine and magnetism. Professor Paul Lusby started his independent academic career as a Royal Society URF at the University of Edinburgh, where he now holds a personal chair in supramolecular chemistry.

Charlie McTernan is a Group Leader in the Physical Sciences at the Francis Crick Institute in London, and a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Chemistry at King's College London. He is a Supramolecular Chemist, investigating how Artificial Molecular Machines and Metal-Organic Capsules can be applied in Biomedical Science.

Imogen is a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Manchester. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, and then moved to the University of Cambridge where she completed a PhD in the Nitschke group developing novel self-assembling architectures for a variety of applications.

The Davis Group develops and applies methods for the design, analysis and manipulation of functional molecular interfaces (bioelectronic, biochemical, wires, mechanically interlocked, nanoparticles), often at molecular scales, and are actively engaged in the use and development of state of the art molecular, theranostic and medical imaging technologies.

The Nitschke Group use chemical self-assembly to create complex structures with targeted functions from simple building blocks. Our work deals with the preparation of complex structures using a process we refer to as subcomponent self-assembly.

Sarah is the lead of a synthetic supramolecular group based in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham. Their research focuses on the development of new responsive supramolecular systems.

Scott is the lead investigator of a group which spans organic, physical, and bioorganic chemistry. We combine molecules of synthetic and biological origins to examine the physical organic chemistry underpinning molecular interactions and the operation of molecular machines.
