Alison Edwards
Dr Alison Edwards is the Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the Universities of Greenwich and Kent at Medway.
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.
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.
Cristina Trujillo
Dr Cristina Trujillo is the Lecturer and Deputy Head of Computational & Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Manchester.
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.
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.
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.
Paul Lusby
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.
Peter Knipe
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.
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.
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.
