The Research Group is based in the Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford (Physical & Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory & Chemistry Research Laboratory)

Its research interests centre on the development of Functional, Switchable and Sensory Interfaces (bioelectrochemical, protein sensing & host-guest), Molecular Imaging, Targetted Medical Imaging (fluorescence and MRI) Molecular Electronics and the nanometre-scale control, manipulation and analysis of bioinorganic and biological systems. 

The groups research activities are funded by the EU, EPSRC, BBSRC, The Leverhulme Trust, The Royal Society, The British Council and The Wellcome Trust.

We make use of advanced imaging methods (AFM, TMAFM, CPAFM, ECAFM, STM, ECSTM, STS, FRET, Confocal, TIRF), nanoparticle chemistry, plasmon optics, surface chemistry, advanced and biological electrochemistry, cell-nanoparticle interactions and magnetic resonance imaging.

We collaborate with teams in Oxford, Cambridge, Leeds, the EU, Japan and the US and have an ongoing association with Nikon Corp. through the Nikon Oxford Molecular Imaging Centre housed within the groups laboratories.
