PhD in Chemical and Structural Biology

We focus on the fundamental bases for biological and biochemical processes, the use of small molecules to probe cellular biology, software and methods development, and the exploitation of enzymes in biocatalysis.

Specific research areas include

• Analysis of the molecular structure of biological macromolecules (most notably proteins)
• Study of the fundamental structural and chemical bases for biological and biochemical processes
• Development of methods (crystallographic and computational) to support and enable structural biology research
• The use of small molecules to probe and exploit cellular biology
• The exploitation of enzymes in biocatalysis.
