Spotlight on COVID: Combating the virus with chemistry

Beth Wilkey interviews Dr Andre Cobb, Senior Lecturer in Organic Chemistry in the Faculty of Natural & Mathematical Sciences. Andre is collaborating on a King’s funded research project which is modelling COVID-19 proteins to identify chemical compounds which could combat the virus.

Leading the project is Dr Edina Rosta, Reader in Computational Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry in collaboration with Dr Mark Sanderson, Reader in Biophysics in the Randall Centre for Cell & Molecular Biophysics.
