The aim of this project is to develop cyclic peptide inhibitors targeting a protein–protein interaction that is strongly implicated in the development and progression of tumours. In this project, we aim to advance the development of these inhibitors towards clinical application.
This project focuses on designing and fabricating next-generation photonic fibre technologies using our advanced cleanroom facilities. While traditionally central to global telecommunications, these optical fibre platforms will be repurposed to develop renewable energy solutions, including solar power generation and low-cost energy storage, contributing to net-zero carbon goals.
This project focuses on designing and fabricating novel photonic computing devices using chalcogenide glass materials such as sulfur (S), selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te). These materials enable the creation of micro and nanoscale structures known as meta-optics, that precisely control light over a broad spectral range.
This project focuses on developing chalcogenide glass materials using group VI elements such as sulfur (S), selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te), for advanced optical, photonic, and electronic applications.
