Berners-Price, Sue - University of Western Australia - School of Chemistry and Biochemistry

研究领域

Professor Sue Berners-Price was appointed to the newly established Chair in Biological Chemistry at UWA in 2001. Her teaching and research interests are in the field of Bioinorganic Chemistry and more specifically in the field of Medicinal Inorganic Chemistry. Research at the interface between inorganic chemistry, biology and medicine is providing exciting new insight into biological processes as well as novel ideas for the design of therapeutic agents involving both novel targets and novel mechanisms. Our research is directed towards the design and mechanism of action of metal-based anticancer agents. All projects involve strong interdisciplinary and some international collaboration.
