Angela Russell
Professor of Medicinal Chemistry
Our research lies at the interface of Chemistry and Biomedicine where we aim to discover new molecules and new mechanisms to intervene in disease. Most of our research aims to tackle degenerative diseases through the discovery of molecules to control cell fate and function. We work in four major thematic areas: controlling gene expression to address fatal genetic diseases, modulation of inflammation, regenerative medicine, and cancer medicinal chemistry.
