Protein and Nucleic Acid Chemistry

The key areas of our research range from prebiotic chemistry, in vitro evolution and synthetic genomics to cancer and the interface between innate and adaptive immunity and the nervous system. We explore these fundamental processes using a combination of technologies including genetic screens, microscopy and structural biology methods, biochemistry, mass spectrometry next-generation sequencing and in vitro assays. Our groups work closely together on shared themes within PNAC, for example, in reagent and technology development.
