Dr Simon MooreLecturer in Synthetic BiologyEmail: simon.moore@qmul.ac.ukRoom Number: Room 4.34, Fogg BuildingWebsite: https://www.simonmoorelab.com/ProfileTeachingResearchSupervisionProfileDr Simon Moore completed his PhD at the University of Kent in 2012. Significantly, he elucidated the anaerobic biosynthetic pathways for vitamin B12 and coenzyme F430 - two vital life-supporting molecules from the tetrapyrrole family, the so-called “pigments of life”. Simon then joined the synthetic biology centre at Imperial College London in 2014, where he expanded his interest into cell-free gene expression systems. Here he realised the potential of cell-free systems for accelerating research in synthetic biology, using cell-free systems for prototyping of gene expression and biosynthetic systems. Simon established his research group at the University of Kent in 2018, before transferring to Queen Mary University of London in 2023.Postgraduate TeachingBIO265 and BMD223 – Metabolic pathways BMD323 – Infectious Diseases BIO600/BMD600 – Research projectsResearchResearch Interests:See Simon Moore's research profile pages including details of research interests, publications, and live grants.SupervisionMiss Kameshwari Chengan (PhD student University of Kent) Miss Agata Kennedy (PhD student University of Kent) Mr Harry Meades (co-supervision MSc student University of Kent) Miss Charlotte Woolley (QMUL PhD student) Miss Alexander Butulan (LiDO iCASE PhD student) Dr Lewis Tanner (Leverhulme Trust PDRA) Current PhD Opportunity A cell-free synthetic biology approach to counter antimicrobial resistance
