We focus on antibiotics: understanding how these compounds are made in nature, how we can re-engineer these natural systems to produce new antibiotics as well as developing novel approaches to treat bacterial infections. Given the importance of antibiotics for human health, our ultimate goal is to develop novel antibiotic therapies that we so badly need to deal with serious bacterial infections and the threat posed by antimicrobial resistance.
1. Exploiting biocatalysis and chemical synthesis to generate new antibiotics
2. Redesigning antibiotic biosynthesis to enable production of modified antibiotics
3. Overcoming antimicrobial resistance by exploiting novel strategies to kill superbugs
We are committed to excellence in research.
We're always interested in collaborating with bright and motivated researchers, clinicians and industry. Whether you want to research, study or partner with us to accelerate our discoveries, find out about the work we do.
