Ian S. Haworth

 Ph.D.

Associate Professor

School of Pharmacy
Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences

His laboratory is interested in studying the interactions between biological macromolecules and small ligands (both peptides and synthetic ligands), using a combination of computer modeling and experimental approaches. He has pursued studies of the dynamics of DNA conformational change, and how this is influenced by the binding of ligands such as polyamines. He is also interested in the propensity of certain DNA sequences (particularly those of a repeating nature) to form stable, non-duplex, tertiary conformations. He is also studying peptides that can act as inhibitors of transforming growth factor-beta.
