Research interests
The Nick Green research group is a synthetic and biological chemistry group. We are interested in exploring new chemical reactions and new chemical structures.
We have a particular interest in the chemistry of molecules of life, including nucleosides, peptides, and lipids. We investigate the synthesis of these molecules and derivatives with applications in organic and medicinal chemistry. We also evaluate the chemical and physical properties of these molecules, and potential routes to them that may have occurred on a primordial Earth, or other planets, which may inform our understanding on the origins of life and homochirality.
