The Biophysical Chemistry group at the University of Bath, led by Professor Toby Jenkins is focused on the application of knowledge and methods in Chemistry, Materials Science and Microbiology to improve human health. Our focus is on the  early detection and treatment of wound, bladder and skin infection.

We work closely with clinical colleagues specialising in: burn care (adult and children); diabetic foot ulcer management; urology.

Our focus is on trying to translate laboratory innovation to the clinic, to realise benefit for patients. Moreover, we aim to create cost-effective and clinically effective devices which can be used both in the UK / Europe but also low resource settings.
