Mauno Lius
University of Manchester PhD Student
ABOUT
Mauno completed his MSc in Medicinal Chemistry at Cardiff University in 2022 with a project in synthesis. He is now a PhD student under the supervision of Dr Andrew Leach where his research focuses on developing and utilising new computational methodologies in further understanding the role that boron plays in medicinal chemistry at a more fundamental level.
In more detail, his research currently aims to model the interactions between boron-containing compounds and key proteins to identify novel boron scaffolds that have potential use in developing new boron-based drug molecules. He is also interested in expanding his focus to encompass computational modelling of boron for materials applications.
