William Richardson

During his doctoral training William specialised in microbiology and structural biology. His research focused on creating new anti-virulence agents to disrupt quorum sensing and attenuate biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

As an EUbOPEN Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Oxford William worked to create chemical probes for the Kelch (German for chalice!) family of E3 ligases and characterised inhibitors against unstudied kinase targets. He has published several scientific articles in the fields of medicinal chemistry and molecular biology.

Until recently, William has been working as a Senior Scientist within a CRO supporting biotech clients in small drug discovery projects.
