Dr. Matthew Styles

Matthew Styles obtained his MChem in 2009 from Durham University, carrying out his final year project in the Drug Metabolism Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) department at AstraZeneca where he worked on the absolute quantification of proteins in complex biological matrices.  He currently works on several projects in the Micklefield group, with interests in biocatalysis and biosynthesis of non-ribosomal peptide antibiotics.  Matt has a great deal of experience in analytical chemistry, and brings expertise in mass spectrometry, HPLC and solid phase extraction techniques into the group.
