The keyword of our Group is sustainability, and we commit ourselves to apply the concept of sustainability to different areas of chemistry. Our research activity ranges widely from organic synthetic chemistry to biology, and it is mainly focused on the development of new biocatalytic and chemo-enzymatic reactions for the synthesis of chemicals, drugs and building blocks as well as on the design of alternative strategies in drug discovery to combat antimicrobial resistance.

The Group is affiliated with the UCL Department of Chemistry, based in Bloomsbury in central London, and it is based in Marshgate Building in the new UCL Campus in the middle of the Olympic Park.

The Group works in the Manufacturing Futures Lab (MFL), a multi-departmental research hub based on the top two floors of the Marshgate building and focused on research on sustainability.
