Nicholas Mitchell

University of Nottingham, UK

Nick studied for an MChem degree at the University of Southampton (UK) and obtained his PhD working on the chemical modification of oligonucleotides in Prof. Stefan Howorka's lab at University College London (UCL, UK). Nick remained at UCL as a postdoc under the joint supervision of Prof. Alethea Tabor and Prof. Helen Hailes to work on MRI and SPECT imaging of liposomal drug delivery, before moving to Prof. Richard Payne's lab at the University of Sydney to develop peptide ligation methodologies. Nick took up a Nottingham Research Fellowship, based in the School of Chemistry, University of Nottingham (UK), in October 2016, and was promoted to Assistant Professor of Biological Chemistry in 2019. His research group is interested in developing novel and operationally simple methods for the site-selective modification of peptides and proteins.
