Research interests
Research in the Medicinal and Biomolecular Chemistry group centres on understanding, at the molecular level, the highly specific intermolecular interactions that occur in almost all biological systems. Major current programmes involve the study of the interactions of small molecules with DNA, and the properties and the mechanism of ice growth inhibition by fish antifreeze proteins.
Please note Professor Harding is not accepting any postdocs or students into her group.
