Molecular Recognition

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 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.

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.

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.
