Research applies physico-chemical principles, experimental and analytical techniques to:
- generate sophisticated drug designs
- expedite the discovery of new therapeutic molecules from synthetic and natural resources
- improve drug delivery to specific sites at tissue and cellular level and
- enhance speed, sensitivity and reliability of chemical analysis
Group members offer an impressive knowledge and skills base in:
- medicinal chemistry
- synthetic organic chemistry
- biochemistry
- medicines formulation and
- physicochemical analysis
Research applies to the study of biological pathways and mechanisms important in drug target identification and validation.
Group members have expertise and interest in a variety of areas including:
- Pharmacology
- Cellular signalling
- High throughput screening
- Pain
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Vision
- Vascular Biology
- Cancer
