Chemistry research plays a critical role in understanding biological processes and the development of advanced treatments for diseases and health conditions.
Lancaster's chemistry researchers are using advanced characterisation to understand complex disease pathology and develop new treatments and diagnostic tools to support a healthy and resilient society.
The treatment of illness and disease relies heavily upon chemically synthesized small molecules. We are developing new molecules of pharmaceutical relevance and optimizing synthetic strategies to access new chemical spaces. This work includes:
The development of treatments for many diseases is held up by a lack of understanding of the disease pathology at the molecular level. We are working to better understand diseases of increasing importance to society, and studying the mechanism of potential treatments through:
Sensors are crucial for understanding and monitoring diseases and health conditions. We are developing new sensing technologies for health applications including:
