Research

Team Painter's research is focused on

  • chemistry and biochemistry of enzyme-catalysed reactions to aid the development of new treatments for diseases
  • using the natural biosynthetic machinery for the efficient generation of valuable products
  • using computational and experimental approaches to study the molecular details of communication networks in proteins.
