Research Interests

Research in the group covers many areas of physical chemistry, chemical biology and nanotechnology. We have developed a number of techniques including evanescent wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy and the array reader technology which are being applied to the analysis of solid-liquid interfaces, multi-analyte analysis of the proteome and the environmental fate of nanoparticles. All of the research looks at molecular diagnostics of the behaviour of complex systems, interfaces structures, proteome, the complement cascade, differential diagnosis, rapid identification of microbes, allergy etc all with a view to a quantitative description.
