Jennifer Hiscock is a Professor of Supramolecular Chemistry (2022) and UKRI Future Leaders Research Fellow in the School of Natural Sciences at the University of Kent (UK). She studied for a PhD in the group of Prof. Phil Gale at the University of Southampton and carried out postdoctoral research in the same group until 2015. Following this she moved to the University of Kent as the Caldin Research Fellow in 2015, she was appointed Lecturer in Chemistry in 2016 and Reader in Supramolecular Chemistry in 2019. Her current research interests focus on the development of her patented Talin Shock Absorbing Material (TSAM) and Supramolecular Self-associating Amphiphile (SSA) technologies for real world 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.

Research in the Hindley group takes a multidisciplinary approach to construct bioinspired nano and microsystems known as synthetic cells. By utilising molecular self-assembly, and interfacing compartments with other (bio)molecules, synthetic cells can be constructed with the ability to mimic the architectures, functions and behaviours of biology.

Jonathan leads a synthetic chemistry group with expertise in design/applications of amide and urea-based with controlled but dynamic conformational properties.

Peter is a synthetic organic chemist with a group focused on developing synthetic methodologies, and developing new foldamer motifs. The Knipe Group are particularly interested in precise control of conformation by non-covalent interactions, stereoelectronic effects and monomer structure.
