Projects

The project will involve exploring the chemistry of the fluorescent BODIPY molecule and its chemistry with sugars, focusing on mono- and disaccharides.

Student intake

Open for Honours, Master, PhD, Summer scholar students

BODIPY dyes are widely used as fluorescent tags for key sites in biomolecules. An alternative approach is to develop amine-functionalised BODIPYs which could be appended to peptides or proteins via a cysteine residue.
