Alison Edwards

Dr Alison Edwards is the Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the Universities of Greenwich and Kent at Medway.

Professor Andre Cobb

André Cobb

André is the Director of FoldNetUK and lead investigator of a research group focused on the synthesis and application of new peptidic structures, particularly through the development of new methodologies towards unnatural amino acids.

Andy Wilson

Andy Wilson is a Professor in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham. 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.

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.

Charlie McTernan

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.

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.

Edina Rosta

Edina Rosta is a Professor of Molecular Modelling in the Condensed Matter & Materials Physics group of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at University College London.

Glenn Burley

Glenn A. Burley is Professor of Chemical Biology at the University of Strathclyde. He was awarded a Bachelor of Medicinal Chemistry (Hon. I) and a PhD in Organic Chemistry from the University of Wollongong, Australia.

Ian Hamley

Professor Ian Hamley is Diamond Professor of Physical Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Reading.

Imogen Riddell

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.

James Hindley

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 Clayden

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

Keith Willison

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.

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.

Manuel Müller

Manuel Müller

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.

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.

Dr Sarah Pike

Sarah Pike

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 Cockroft

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.

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 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.
