Jeremy E. Turnbull BSc, PhD, FRSB, FRSC

Prof Turnbull heads the Molecular Glycobiology Research group. Their research interests cover the molecular glycobiology of heparan sulphates in health and disease, including drug discovery. Major topics of interest include the structure-activity relationships of these complex glycans; development of glycomics approaches for systems level investigation of HS glycans; their functional roles in complex biological systems; applications in stem cell biology and in drug discovery for cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and spinal cord injury. Prof Turnbull is also the lead for the Molecular Basis of Therapeutic Targeting research theme within IIB.
