Chemical Biology, Molecular Medicine and Synthetic Biology

Chemistry is central to the advancement of medicine and the life sciences. Glasgow Chemical Biology is providing chemical tools, new compounds and novel techniques to assist diagnosis, combat disease and elucidate the mysteries of life.  We are also using chemistry to mimic, build on, adapt and complement the structures and systems found in living organisms.  Our efforts are mainly devoted to five areas:

• Cancer

• Oxidative stress: ageing, neurodegeneration and cardiovascular disease

• Sensing, imaging and diagnostics

• Antimicrobial, antiviral and antiparasitic drugs

• Synthetic Biology
