• Project Title: Expanding the scope of DNA encoded library chemistry using micelles

Institution: Newcastle University, Centre For Cancer at Newcastle University with Astra Zeneca

Project Summary: This project in partnership with Astra Zeneca will aim to increase the range of chemistry available for generating DNA-encoded libraries (DELs). The methodology developed will be applied to establish the scope and to generate libraries for potential screening. This will afford a quicker, cheaper way to identify lead pharmaceutical compounds for future development.

Interesting Fact: I have been training blind people to computer science for the last 4 years and possess a Diploma in Handicap Management.
