Research interests

The group is developing new methods for the synthesis and analysis of complex oligosaccharides which play a vital role in many intracellular systems. We also investigate new methods for asymmetric synthesis using novel bifunctional catalysts whilst other projects are developing new methods for drug discovery using evolutionary concepts. We also have collaborations with colleagues in Biochemistry which use the tools of Chemistry to prepare novel compounds for investigations into the pathways of protein folding.
