He believes in the fundamental importance of working across the Biology/Chemistry interface and in interdisciplinary research in general. He is particularly interested in Translational Research and, together with his colleagues, established the new Drug Discovery Unit at the University of Dundee. He is also Director of the Dundee Proteomics Facility and is involved with the Wyeth/Scottish Enterprise Translational Medicine Research Collaboration (TMRC).
