General information
Most of our bioanalytical projects are at the interface between postgenomic biological systems, quantitative analytical chemistry and machine learning, with a special emphasis on evolutionary computing and systems biology. We have particular interests in chemical genomics, network biology and e-science. Other areas include pharmaceutical drug transporters, iron as a major cause of disease, and synthetic biotechnology.

Joanna Sadler
Jo is a Post-Doctoral Research Associate working in the field of directed evolution, biocatalysis and synthetic biology. She received her undergraduate degree in Chemistry with a Year in Industry from the University of Bristol in 2013, followed by an Industrial PhD in Biocatalysis and Enzymology at GlaxoSmithKline in collaboration with the University of Strathclyde, before joining the Kell group in 2017. Her work now focuses on the engineering of biocatalysts for industrial application using synthetic biology and in silico learning. This encompasses the development of new tools for library design and ultra-high throughput screening and sorting assays. |

Collaboration
We also have close research collaboration with the members of following research groups:
- Manchester Centre for Integrative Systems Biology
- The Laboratory for Bioanalytical Spectroscopy, headed by Prof. Roy Goodacre.
Visitor information
The University of Manchester campus comprises two main areas: the Sackville Street area, ‘North Campus’, formerly the UMIST campus, and the Oxford Road area, ‘South Campus’, formerly The Victoria University of Manchester campus. See maps and directions to The University of Manchester, including large and handy campus map. We are located inthe Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (Princess Street). Parking is in the Charles St car park, satnav M1 3BB. A nice colour pdf map of the city centre may be found here.
