RESEARCH INTERESTS

Our group is interested in the application of synthetic molecules to problems in Chemical Biology and Nanotechnology. The major theme of our multidisciplinary program involves the development and application of robust methods for synthesis of designed compounds. These compounds are used as tools to study molecular recognition and self-assembly using modern characterisation techniques.
