Overview

The research of the rapidly expanding Chemical Biology  group at  Cardiff University  builds on the strength of Chemistry at Cardiff and aims to enhance cross-disciplinary activities between the Physical, Medical and Life Sciences.

Opportunities

There are strong links with other Schools such as Biosciences, Pharmacy, Optometry and the School of Medicine. The group is very well supported with funding from the research councils, charities and industry. It profits from state-of-the-art facilities for synthesis, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, chemical and molecular biology. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the research, students from diverse backgrounds, such as Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Computational Sciences and Molecular Biology, can make significant contributions to our work.

Programme Structure

Available research areas:

  • Terpene Biosynthesis
  • The physical basis of enzyme catalysis
  • Biophotonic Nanoswitches
  • Medicinal Biochemistry
  • Mechanisms of light-sensitive flavoprotiens
  • Peptide and protein interactions with nucleic acids
  • Mass spectrometry of  cyclic peptides
