Dr Gonçalo Bernardes has won the Chem Soc Rev Emerging Investigator Lectureship 2016 in Chemical Biology, which recognises emerging scientists who have made a significant contribution to their research field.
Gonçalo’s research focuses on developing novel aqueous reactions for site-specific protein modification with the aim of using them to understand key biological processes which can then be applied to the construction of targeted therapeutics.
As part of the lectureship Gonçalo and Dr Guihua Yu, who won the prize in Energy Nanomaterials, will each present a lecture at three different locations over the coming year, with at least one of these events taking place at an international conference, where they will also be formally presented with their prize.
