I am a biochemist with strong research interests in enzymology and structural biology. My research is focussing on biocatalysis with emphasis on enzymes involved in cyclic peptide biosynthesis. I am employing bio-macromolecular X-ray crystallography, enzyme kinetics and biophysical methods to expand the fundamental understanding of how these enzymes work in order to harness their biocatalytic … Read more
I am a bioorganic chemist/chemical biologist with research interests in the biosynthesis of natural products at the chemical and genetic level. Specifically, my research focuses on natural products with important medicinal properties and in understanding how biosynthetically intriguing motifs within these compounds are assembled. From this vantage point we harness individual enzymes as convenient tools for organic synthesis, and employ … Read more
I am a highly motivated BioOrganic Medicinal Chemist with research interests in the synthesis, biosynthesis and biosynthetic manipulation of natural products. Through my MSc I have developed skills in organic synthesis and I have extended these skills in biochemistry further through my PhD. I have a deep interest in the medical research field especially in the discovery … Read more
I am a Molecular Microbiologist with research interests in the development of whole cell catalysts, with particular focus on engineering microbial biofilms as platform for biotransformations. Biofilms are known for their robustness and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions, therefore I am working toward harnessing these features to develop a biocatalytic biofilm platform in which enzymes of choice are … Read more
I am an organic/bioorganic chemist with research interests in the synthesis and biosynthesis of natural products. My previous work has included the synthesis and isolation of highly reactive superelectrophile compounds and the synthesis of fluorinated derivatives of natural products. My current research focuses on marrying biosynthesis and synthetic chemistry to generate new natural product analogues. Michael Corr’s CV
My research work focused on the natural products chemistry, including the isolation and structure determination of new bioactive natural, genome mining, and genetic manipulation of bioactive natural product biosynthesis. I have developed skills in the isolation and purification, structure elucidation, organic synthesis of natural products through my MSc and PhD. After that, my research centres on the screening of … Read more
I am a synthetic chemist/ chemical biologist with a particular interest in the biosynthesis of natural products, and am especially fascinated by the enzymes involved in in sugar and nucleoside biosynthesis and modification. I am passionate about biocatalysis, considering it the most striking and environmentally-friendly approach to synthesis. I am currently working on a very interdisciplinary project, combining … Read more
