WELCOME
We are a computational chemistry group based in the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, UK. We develop theory, simulation and informatics methods to study the behaviour of biochemical systems. Our current research interests include molecular solvation, chymosin biochemistry, diagnosis of disease using FTIR spectroscopy, and computer-aided drug design.
​
We have recently co-founded a biomedical diagnostics spinout company, Dxcover. Further information is available here.​
The Palmer Lab is currently open to applications for a (one) competitively funded PhD position. This is a collaboration between the Sheiner Lab (University of Glasgow) and the Palmer Lab (University of Strathclyde), entitled 'Exploring Mitochondrial Enzymes as Targets for Anti-toxoplasmosis and Anti-malarial Drugs'. More information can be found here, and applications can be made here. The closing deadline for applications is Sunday, 4th January, 2026.
