Research Interests

My research centres on the biomolecular design approach to synthetic biology. Current directions include:

• The design of a novel protein based motor that walks along DNA.
• The design of sequences that adopt multiple native states.
• Peptide based methods for coupling changes in chemical potential to mechanical outputs.
• Understanding the energy landscape of coiled-coil oligomerization. 
• The design of self-assembling fibre systems.
