Chemical Biology
Chemical biology is the chemistry of, for, and from life. Members of this cluster apply chemical principles and techniques to understanding mechanisms in biology, use chemical synthesis to intervene in biological systems, and use biology as an inspiration to design and produce new or useful materials and systems. Our work underpins and contributes to diverse areas such as healthcare, lifelong well-being and healthy ageing alongside the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
Chemical biology major themes
- Biological Chemistry and Mechanistic Biology - understanding the reactions and interactions fundamental to life
- Medicinal Chemistry, Diagnostics and Imaging - including synthesis for biology
- Functional Assemblies - protein bioengineering, synthetic biology and bio-inspired supramolecular chemistry
