We are interested in synthesis of all kinds, from biologically active molecules to polymers.
The common theme is that our target must have a use, whether it allows us to probe a biological system or to make a smart material.
The new frontiers in research are at the interfaces and major breakthroughs are now happening in collaborative research projects on multidisciplinary themes. Our interest in the Bio21 Institute is to address the interface of biological and materials science.
Our research also involves extensive collaboration with chemists at CSIRO Molecular and Health Technologies and the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College, London.

5th May 2012 - Andrew Features on The ABC Science Show Discussing the Value of International Scientific Collaborations
Scientific research doesn't proceed within countries unconnected as if isolated islands. It is a worldwide collaboration. And for success, countries must be part of this collaboration. Andrew Holmes and Nobel Laureate Brian Schmidt feature in this public forum hosted by the University of Melbourne and The Australian Academy of Science discussing the value of scientific research and the way the worldwide collaboration strengthens everyone invovled.

16th April 2012 - Welcome Katharina
Welcome to Katharina Neumann from the University of Bayreuth. Katharina will be working on continuous flow synthesis as part of a collaborative exchange project for the next month.
6th April 2012 - Farewell to Tae-Hyuk and Junliang
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to two of our Researchers. Tae-Hyuk leaves the group after many successful years working on polymer solar cells and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) to take up an academic position in his home country of Korea. Junliang (Simon) leaves us after one year of working with the group looking at the printing of solar cells. We wish both Tae-Hyuk and Junliang all the best for the future and contunued academic success.
