Michael Webb

Research Interests & Areas

Research within the Webb group focuses on the occurrence of metals in medicine, as either the therapeutic agent or the target for therapy. Specifically, protein interactions have been observed to be central in either the pathology of several diseases following an interaction with endogenous metal ions, thereby becoming the target for therapy, or in the transportation of metallotherapeutics to their site of action. We are currently investigating several metal-protein interactions, to provide new leads for therapeutic development.
