Professor Tim Bugg is a renowned academic at the University of Warwick, serving as Professor of Biological Chemistry since 1999. His research focuses on mechanistic enzymology with applications in antibacterial drug discovery and biocatalytic lignin valorization.
- BA (University of Cambridge, 1986)
- PhD (University of Cambridge, 1989)
- Postdoctoral Research (Harvard Medical School, 1991)
His research spans two major areas:
- Bacterial Cell Wall Biosynthesis: Studying enzymes like MraY translocase and MurG glycosyltransferase as antibiotic targets.
- Lignin Degradation: Investigating DyP peroxidases, multi-copper oxidases, and manganese superoxide dismutases for renewable chemical production.
Recent projects include EU Horizon H2020 ZELCOR (lignin valorization) and BBSRC-FAPESP grants for ferulic acid conversion. His work employs biochemical synthesis, isotope labeling, and in vitro membrane system reconstitution.
Notable scientific recognition includes the 2024 Royal Society of Chemistry Interdisciplinary Prize.
- PhD Students Supervised: Rachel Kerr, Timur Avkiran, Awatif Alruwaili, Purwinda Iriani
- Research Collaborations: Prof. Chris Dowson (bacterial resistance), Dr. David Roper (enzymology), Prof. Steve Evans (biophysics)
