Course summary

Biopharmaceuticals are defined as biological macromolecules or cellular components that are extracted or synthesised from biological sources that can be used as a therapy or in diagnostics. Members of our school with expertise in molecular biophysics, structural biology, virology and microbiology have key interests in exploiting their research for improved biopharmaceutical manufacture. Work in this area ranges from the development of precision drugs using either chemical compounds or macromolecules, understanding protein folding towards ensuring biopharmaceutical stability and safety, the application of Affimer reagents to intervene in biological pathways, and the study of viruses to develop vaccines against outbreaks that can damage both human and agricultural populations.
