BIOGRAPHY

Description

My research is in the area of bio-mimetic chemistry with focus on nanomedicine, supramolecular and biophysical chemistry. To this end we apply a combination of synthetic organic and inorganic chemistry, bioconjugate chemistry (chemical modification of biological molecules), cellular biology (for activity assays) and supramolecular chemistry to make our target systems and we use various spectroscopic techniques such as UV, fluorescence and NMR as well as microscopy techniques such as AFM, STM and TEM, to analyse these systems.

Education

PhD in Organic Chemistry (U. Sydney, 2001).
BSc. in Chemistry (U. Iceland, 1996).

RESEARCH

My Research Goals

Create novel self-assembled materials for nanomedicine.
Explore the role of self-assembly in protein chemistry and function.
Harvest solar energy using biomimetic approaches.
Uncover the role of self-assembly in the origin of life.
Inspire passion for chemistry in students.

My Research in Detail

Biomimetic chemistry – using Nature as an blueprint or inspiration to solve societal challenges and make new discoveries – is what our research is about. Self-assembly, supramolecular chemistry and protein chemistry are the common themes in the diverse range of work within our research group. We work with medical researchers on cancer-targeting peptides and novel materials for drug release and stem cell therapies. We work with industry on projects such as developing new materials for enhancing algae production and improving our understanding of how to module the taste profile of processed food. We work with biophysical scientist on uncovering the secrets of light-harvesting proteins. We develop methods for data analysis in supramolecular chemistry and we work on understanding the role of self-assembly in prebiotic chemistry (origin of life) through synthetic biology experiments. In short – our works spans the whole spectra from physical chemistry and data analysis to organic synthesis, supramolecular and biophysical chemistry.

Current Student Projects (PhD and Honours)

Broadly speaking our current projects can be divided into three main areas:

Nanomedicine, Biophysical & Protein Chemistry and Supramolecular Chemistry.

More specifically, our current PhD and Honours projects include:

Self-assembled gels for drug release (Nanomedicine).

Cancer cell targeting peptides (Nanomedicine).

Novel materials for 3D cell cultures (Biophysical and Protein Chemistry).

Light-activated bioconjugates (Biophysical and Protein Chemistry).

Controlling protein self-assembly and protein-protein interactions (Biophysical and Protein Chemistry).

Proteins and polymer self-assembly (Biophysical and Protein Chemistry).

The formation of self-assembled gels (Supramolecular Chemistry).

Cooperativity in ion-pair hosts (Supramolecular Chemistry).

Biomimetic light-harvesting and donor-acceptor arrays (Supramolecular Chemistry).

Supervision Opportunities/Areas

I am always open for suggestions from prospective students on projects that fit within our broad research area, be they related to our current projects or a completely new line of investigation. Please don’t hesitate to contact me regarding your ideas or ask for further advice on possible projects.

Advice for prospective students

Our group is focused on creativity and on tackling fundamentally interesting and important challenges. With that comes lack of respect for boundaries between disciplines – our home is in chemistry but work goes across from biophysics, data analysis physical organic chemistry to nanotechnology, synthesis, protein chemistry and synthetic biology. We aim to make a difference with our work, be it by publishing in top quality journal or creating new materials and processes that can be used to solve medical, industrial or societal challenges.
