Congratulations to our PhD student Anya, who won the prize for best biological talk at the UoM Chemistry PGR Conference, showcasing her work on engineering a multifunctional IRED! Manchester Institute of Biotechnology

The new IBIC Innovate UK ICURe programme is now open for applications. It is designed to help you understand and explore the commercial potential of your research. Find out more and apply here 👇 manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/…

Our latest paper just out in Nature Chem Biol describes highly unexpected cryptic enzymology, not seen before in Nature, and provides a new way to synthesise peptides (future therapeutics) using ligase enzymes. Nature Chemical Biology Manchester Institute of Biotechnology nature.com/articles/s4158…

Scientists from The University of Manchester Micklefield Lab have discovered a greener, more efficient way to make peptide-based medicines. The new ligase enzymes can significantly reduce harmful waste and show promising effectiveness in combating cancers. Read more 👇manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/…

We are hiring! Post-doctoral vacancy in my team to synthesise polymers inspired by ice-binding proteins. Strong (CRP/CROP) polymer synthesis skills needed.
