Biography
Dr. Peyton joined the University of Bradford in Sept 2016 and is now an Associate Professor in Biophysical Chemistry within the Department of Chemistry and Biosciences. Her background has spanned formulation and analytical chemistry in the pharmaceutical and FMCG industries, NMR method development, structural biology, protein and peptide synthesis, and computational biophysics. Her main focus of research is post-translational modifications that trigger deleterious conformations in peptides and proteins and the use of novel and non-natural amino acids in peptide drug design.
Dr. Peyton has been awarded grants from the Amyloidosis Foundation and the Academy of Medical Sciences to support her work examining the role of isomerisation in neurogenerative and cardiac disorders.
Dr. Peyton is a passionate educator and since April 2019 has been the Programme Lead of the BSc and MChem Undergraduate degree programmes at the University of Bradford. As of May 2021, Dr Peyton is the Interim Director of Studies for the School of Chemistry and Biosciences. Dr Peyton was the recipient of the 2021 Bradford Teaching Fellow award
