Dr Andrew Marsh

Associate Professor (Reader)


Multidisciplinary and collaborative approaches to the synthesis and application of functional molecules. Understanding how the molecules we make interact with each other (supramolecular chemistry) and with biological targets for translation as therapeutics. Synthesis of heterocycles and nucleobase analogs that are able to self-assemble using hydrogen bonds and other non-covalent interactions. Discovery of protein targets for known bioactive molecules using phage display and affinity methods. Synthetic and biomolecular interactions using physico-chemical techniques including isothermal titration calorimetry, gel permeation chromatography, and NMR methods.

Andrew teaches organic and physical organic chemistry across all year groups. Currently I am module leader for:

CH271 Mechanistic and Biological Chemistry

CH3F5 Bioorganic Chemistry

I supervise graduate students for M.Sc. by research and Ph.D. study funded through a variety of routes. I am always pleased to hear from potential students and to discuss research projects
