Research in our lab focuses on using synthetic protein chemistry to elucidate how proteins are controlled by post-translational modifications. We are particularly interested in modifications of the polypeptide backbone, and how such processes are involved in molecular ageing.
We are located in the recently formed chemistry department at King's College London. Our research is generously funded by a Sir Henry Dale Fellowship, jointly provided by the Wellcome Trust and the Royal Society.
