Team Parker
Synthetic and Chemical biology
Chemistry and biochemistry of enzyme-catalysed reactions to aid the development of new treatments for diseases and using the natural biosynthetic machinery for the efficient generation of valuable products. Using computational and experimental approaches her team also studies the molecular details of communication networks in proteins.
