Dek Woolfson took his first degree in Chemistry at the University of Oxford. He then did a PhD at the University of Cambridge, followed by post-doctoral research at University College London and the University of California, Berkeley. After 10 years as Lecturer through to Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Sussex, he moved to the University of Bristol in 2005 to take up a joint chair in Chemistry and Biochemistry. His research has always been at the interface between chemistry and biology, applying chemical methods and principles to understand biological systems. Specifically, his group is interested in the challenge of rational protein design, and in how this can be applied in synthetic biology and bionanotechnology.
