Hagan Bayley

Contact:

Hagan Bayley is currently a Professor in the Department of Chemical Biology at the University of Oxford, England, UK. His research interests span molecular engineering of channels, sensors, and transporters. He is currently funded on projects focusing on single molecule covalent chemistry and catalysis, expanding the diversity of single-molecule chemistry, water in nanopores, templated chemical glycosylation in water and next generation anti-bacterials.

Research

In this Center, he will focus on the development of molecular engineering of channels, sensors and transporters. Bayley’s measurements on alpha-hemolysin variants and porins will provide the core data set against which to validate our simulation methods for protein channels.  Bayley’s development of a light-activated calcium channel will be key to providing light-sensitivity for the biobattery as a power source for a retinal implant.
