About
The Chemical Biology, Diagnostics and Therapeutics group has been replaced by the Organic and Biological Chemistry group.
Organic and Biological Chemistry group page
Our group's research across both chemistry and biology means we are multidisciplinary by nature. We investigate the properties of a wide range of biomolecules, including DNA, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. These can range from small synthetic models to biologically-derived macromolecular (large molecule) complexes.
We regularly work in collaboration within the University of Southampton, with other institutions or with industrial partners.
Our current research projects include:
- enzyme catalysis
- protein-protein interactions
- post-translational modifications
- lipidomics
The place to fast-track medicines that change lives
Southampton spin-out company Curve Therapeutics has pioneered a faster, smarter way to discover new therapies for complex diseases such as cancer.
