Glenn A. Burley (GAB) is Professor of Chemical Biology at the University of Strathclyde. The main focus of GAB’s research programme is the development of molecular probes to further our understanding of processes involved in gene expression. GAB was awarded a Bachelor of Medicinal Chemistry (Hon. I) and a PhD in Organic Chemistry from the University of Wollongong, Australia. GAB was a post-doctoral fellow in the Fullerene Science Centre at the University of Sussex (2001-2003) and an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the University of Munich (2004-2006).  GAB began his independent career as an EPSRC Advanced Fellow in 2007 at the University of Leicester, before moving to Strathclyde in 2011.

The Burley group (www.burleylabs.co.uk) applies a problem-based ethos that utilizes synthetic organic chemistry, biocatalysisand physical organic chemistry to explore regulatory mechanisms of transcription and RNA processing.  A second research area of interest is the development of bio-orthogonal chemistries to prepare bioconjugates for cell selective drug delivery.
