Our Biochemists and Molecular Biologists study the “molecules of life”, the essential molecular components of all living organisms. We aim to understand how these molecules perform their functions, using a variety of modern approaches including structural analysis at the atomic level by X-ray crystallography, NMR spectrometry, and biophysical methods, functional analysis of proteins and nucleic acids in vitro, molecular/systems analysis in living cells, and molecular genetics. Our knowledge gained by this research gives us opportunity to invent and develop novel ways of altering biological systems to our advantage, with applications in molecular medicine, biotechnology, and synthetic biology.

Course programme

Postgraduate students aiming for a PhD will carry out a cutting-edge research project over 3-4 years in an area that aligns with the expertise of one or more of our Principal Investigators in the fields of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The subject of the project may be fundamental “blue skies” science or may be targeted at an important application. Some of our current research areas are:

  • Cell signalling mechanisms in mammals, plants and insects
  • Mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial proteins
  • Mechanisms of DNA sequence rearrangements
  • DNA sequences in human disease
  • Genetic circuits and switches for synthetic biology
  • Plant molecular biology
  • Photosynthesis, plant photobiology, circadian factors in plants
  • Structural determination by NMR
  • Structural bioinformatics, molecular modelling
  • Drug receptors, molecular pharmacology
  • Nuclear genomic architecture
  • Mechanisms of intracellular trafficking
  • Protein folding, targeting and modification
  • Protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions
  • Cell-surface interactions

Additional information

All Postgraduate Research Students are allocated a supervisor who will act as the main source of academic support and research mentoring.You may want to identify a potential supervisor and contact them to discuss your research proposal before you apply.
