Anna Barnard
Anna is an Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) in the Department of Chemistry at Imperial. Her research focuses on the development of peptides and small molecules to understand and perturb protein-protein interactions.
Beatrice Collins
Beatrice is the Early Career Champion for the Network and leads a synthetic chemistry research group in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol.
Chris Coxon
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.
Craig Butts
Professor Craig Butts is the Head of the School of Chemistry and Professor of Structural and Mechanistic Chemistry at the University of Bristol. The Butts Research Group tackles challenges based around organic molecular structure and reaction mechanism, principally using NMR spectroscopy - the most information-rich analytical technique available to chemists.
Ian Hamley
Professor Ian Hamley is Diamond Professor of Physical Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Reading.
Lorna Smith
Lorna is a Professor of Chemistry whose research centres around understanding protein folding and misfolding using a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches. In the area of Foldamers her work is particularly concentrated on MD simulations of peptides containing non-proteinogenic amino acids.
Martina Delbianco
Martina is the Group Leader of the Carbohydrate Materials at the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces. Her group synthesizes glycans that fold into defined secondary structures and assemble into programmable supramolecular architectures.
Nicholas Mitchell
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.
Simon Webb
Simon Webb is currently Professor of Organic Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Manchester. His research interests fall mostly in the area of supramolecular chemistry within membranes, which includes the development of synthetic signal transducers and ion channels.
Steven Cobb
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.
