Chemical Biology

Chemical Biology lies at the interface of chemistry and biology. It harnesses the development of new chemistries, chemical technologies and chemical probes to perturb, quantify and characterise biological systems and ultimately to shed new light on biology. It is a highly diverse and interdisciplinary field which utilizes methods ranging from organic chemistry, peptide and DNA synthesis, through biophysics to molecular and cell biology to generate new ligands, sensors and drug candidates and explore their associated biology.
