个人简历

My current research programmes focus on the chemistry of metals in biological systems that have clinical and environmental relevance.
If you wish to book an appointment, please do so through my ‘youcanbookme’ page.
Bioinorganic chemistry is of fundamental importance to increasing our understanding of biological systems as approximately 30% of proteins in known genomes contain metal ions. Metalloproteins exploit the chemistry of metals and utilise this widely in many biological processes including respiration, photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation and protection against toxic agents.
My current research programs focus on the chemistry of metals in biological systems that have clinical and environmental relevance. The majority of my research is multidisciplinary and utilises standard laboratory methods* for protein production/characterisation together with advanced synchrotron radiation techniques#.
* chromatography, electrophoresis, electron paramagnetic spectroscopy, UV/Vis spectroscopy, atomic absorption spectroscopy,
#X-ray absorption spectroscopy, protein crystallography, solution x-ray scattering.
