• Project Title: New methods for scaled synthesis of nucleoside 5’-triphosphates and their application in gene synthesis

Institution: Durham University

Project Summary: The project aims to deliver affordable synthetic routes for modified dNTPs utilising flow chemistry for synthetic gene production that will underpin biotechnology and biomedical sciences. Findings will hopefully also be applicable across NTP and dNTP systems that are widely used in academic and industrial research settings.

Interesting Fact: I’ve been clubbing with members of the shadow cabinet.
