Regular biography
The Chemistry Biology Interface research theme at The University of Edinburgh's School of Chemistry focuses on understanding the chemistry of life and its applications in drug design, sustainable catalysis, and disease research. This multidisciplinary area spans bioinformatics, enzyme characterization, synthetic biology, and computational chemistry, with an emphasis on developing tools for disease interrogation and treatment. Research includes enzyme and metabolic pathway engineering, natural product biosynthesis, and biocatalysis, aiming to create sustainable chemical processes. The theme also explores the chemistry of disease, particularly parasitic and neurological conditions, and collaborates with industry and biotech sectors. Research highlights include advancements in imaging techniques, drug discovery, and the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
