Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDrew Thomson is a Lecturer in Chemical Biology at the University of Glasgow with nine years of postdoctoral and academic experience designing and synthesising peptides and proteins to probe structure–function relationships. His work blends peptide synthesis, molecular recognition and biophysics with computational design tools to create conformationally switching sensors—such as kinase activity reporters—aimed at improving detection of disease-relevant events. Prior roles include a research fellowship at the University of Bristol developing higher‑order coiled‑coil assemblies and a postdoc in protein fluorescence at Edinburgh, giving him a rare combination of supramolecular design, chemical modification and spectroscopic expertise. He leads an EPSRC-funded project translating computational design into experimentally tractable peptide sensors, and routinely integrates teaching and lab management with research.
