The Surman Lab is an interdisciplinary research group based in the Department of Chemistry at King’s College, London, led by Andrew Surman.
Our interests are broad, but centre on Supramolecular Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Systems Chemistry, Nanomaterials, a fondness for getting computers to do the work, and an affinity for horrible messes which nobody else wants to deal with. We are applying these as tools to solve practical problems (probing industrial materials, controlling catalytic systems, sustainable separation and productin, diagnostics, drug delivery) and more fundamental questions (e.g. around the Origin of Life, extremely heterogenous biopolymers like melanin, and Supramolecular reaction control).

We're a growing group, with a lot in the pipeline, and we'll expand this site as we have more to tell you!
