Professor Susan Wyllie FRSE

Professor of Biochemical Pharmacology, Drug Discovery Unit, University of Dundee

Susan Wyllie is Professor of Biochemical Pharmacology at the Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Dundee. She established her research group in 2015, focused on supporting infectious disease drug discovery through comprehensive drug target deconvolution and mechanism of action studies. Her group utilises a broad range of genetic, biochemical and chemical proteomics approaches to identify the molecular targets of compounds with potential to treat diseases such as malaria. Such information can be vital in evolving these early compounds into effective therapies of the future. To date, the Wyllie group have played a significant role in the development of five clinical drug candidates.
