Welcome to the Duncan research group website. Our group was established in 2016 and we are based in Glasgow, Scotland.
We discover new medicines, primarily antibiotics, from the oceans.
We are passionate about all aspects of marine natural products research.
Our broad interest is marine microbial chemical ecology. Which microbes produce chemistry? What influences these processes? Are there boundaries to this exchange? If so, what are they defined by? Ecology? Evolution (phylogeny)? Biogeography? Ultimately, understanding what underpins these fascinating and complex processes will enable an 'informed biodiscovery' approach to new chemistry. We all agree that new medicines are needed. To address this, we are creating a map of this microbial chemical language, kind of big picture of a microbial world. Discovery is what we do.
We enjoy interdisciplinary research and working with interesting people. We welcome new connections, collaborations and discussions - please get in touch, we'd love to hear from you!
