Bruce Turnbull is a synthetic chemist with interests in synthetic biology.
Bruce received the 2013 Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Carbohydrate Award in recognition of his work on carbohydrate synthetic methods and his studies of protein-carbohydrate interactions. He led an EU COST Action network (2011-15) that brought together over 60 research groups from 21 countries to pursue interdisciplinary projects in “ Multivalent Glycosystems for Nanoscience ”. He was Chair of the RSC Carbohydrate Interest Group during their 50th Anniversary Year (2016-17). He is also a member of the Ast
Bruce’s current research interests encompass the use of chemical and enzymatic methods to make and modify carbohydrates and proteins for use in targeted delivery and synthetic biology.
