Professor of Chemistry, University of Aberdeen, Scotland, UK； Director of the Marine Biodiscovery Centre.

The Jaspars group focuses on the functions and applications of marine derived natural products. The goal of the work is to determine the biological role of selected natural products as well as using them as pharmaceuticals and tools for biomedical research. In addition his group works on the understanding the biosynthesis of complex cyclic peptides of marine origin. This has led to the use of engineered enzymes to rapidly diversify complex cyclic peptides to address complex diseases. In addition the Jaspars group is using a synthetic biology approach to create cells that are able to produce these cyclic peptides.
