About us

We use structural, chemical and molecular biology approaches along with medicinal chemistry and high-throughput screening, to identify and validate novel therapeutic targets.

Our work has relevance to a range of diseases including cancers, inflammatory diseases and infections.

Members of our division have made important contributions to a number of research areas, including our understanding of:

  • cell death pathways
  • kinase signalling pathways
  • protein glycosylation in diseases
  • the molecular mechanisms that contribute to malarial parasite survival
