Professor David Craik    Professorial Research Fellow

	Biography

Our work focuses on the application of NMR spectroscopy in drug design and development. By determining the structures of biologically active molecules it is possible to identify functional regions of these molecules and use this information to design novel drugs. We have a particular interest in the concept of stabilising proteins by joining their ends to make circular molecules.

Professor David Craik is the group leader for NMR Spectroscopy research at the IMB.

He was recently awarded $1.75 million from the Australian Research Council to develop the next generation of drug design and insecticides.
