Mechanism and regulation of biological systems

We are interested in using the tools of organic chemistry to understand biological problems. Research includes mechanistic enzymology of enzyme-catalysed reactions, the synthesis of novel probes of biological function and the biophysical characterisation of protein-protein interactions. More information about current group members and research projects can be found via the links to the left.

If you are interested in joining the research group at any level then feel free to contact Dr Mike Webb directly.
