Industry Partnerships

We collaborate with companies from biopharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agrochemical sectors on natural product discovery and biosynthesis. Our expertise in engineering non-model bacteria, developing high-yield cell-free systems, and pathway engineering offers unique opportunities for accessing novel chemical space and translating discoveries into applications.

PhD Positions

We welcome applications from candidates seeking external scholarships (e.g., CSC, Commonwealth, or research council funding). Join a dynamic research environment working on real-world challenges at the interface of synthetic biology, antimicrobial discovery, and sustainable chemical production.

Postdoctoral Fellows

If your research aligns with our programme and you want to join a thriving engineering biology community at Imperial, please contact Simon. We provide mentorship for fellowship applications to:

• Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
• Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship
• Wellcome Trust Career Development Awards
• FAPESP (Brazil)

Our focus is engineering pathways from non-model bacteria using microbial or cell-free platforms. Simon is happy to discuss opportunities with researchers seeking to establish independent careers.
