Deputy lead - Molecular Perturbations Challenge, Rosalind Franklin Institute
- Working with Professor Ben Davis on chemical methodologies to edit and control biomolecules in living cells in vivo.
I am the Deputy Lead for a broad scientific challenge area, focussed around chemical methodologies to edit and control biomolecules in living cells in vivo
Our group has a particular research focus on structural basis of Heparan Sulfate biosynthesis, recognition and degradation, combining in vitro study of enzyme mechanisms with in situ imaging of multi-enzyme organization in cells.
I studied Medicinal Chemistry at UCL, followed by a PhD at Cambridge studying the interactions between proteins and noncoding RNAs. I then moved to York for a postdoc, investigating the structures of sugar processing enzymes and their roles in biology, which is where his interest remains today.
