Chemistry of World Health
The Chemistry of World Health cluster focuses on medicinal chemistry, materials chemistry for nanomedicines, molecular modelling, antimicrobial surfaces research, and bio-organic chemistry with on-campus collaborations with the Life Sciences, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
We have established two new centres to tackle challenges relevant to the industry:
- The Open Innovation Hub for Antimicrobial Surfaces, a multi-disciplinary initiative to develop new technologies to tackle biofilms and anti-microbial resistance
- The Centre of Excellence for Long Acting Therapeutics is a knowledge hub and dedicated laboratory to accelerate product development.
Members of the cluster are also active within the University’s Therapeutic Innovation Frontier; with a rich history of groundbreaking discoveries and translational research in infectious diseases and global health, this initiative aims to revolutionise the drug discovery and medicine development pathway in several target therapeutic areas.
