Kelso, Michael J.

Overview

The Kelso Research Group focuses on early stage antimicrobial and anticancer medicinal chemistry, drug discovery and chemical biology. We work with an extensive network of world leading local, national and international collaborators to explore the biological activities, both in vitro and in vivo, of innovative drug molecules designed and synthesised by the group at UOW.
