Abstract
To say that the past few years have been challenging would be a severe understatement. Numerous obstacles, big and small, presented themselves throughout where at many times the thought of reaching these final stages felt impossible. Fortunately, I have been honoured to have the pleasure to work with some amazing people throughout the years to make this seemingly impossible task a reality. First and foremost, I am immensely grateful to my supervisors, Paco, and Tim, for their exceptional guidance, mentorship, and patience. Their expertise, insights, and dedication have been instrumental in shaping my research and intellectual growth. I am grateful for their constant encouragement and belief in my abilities, and I was incredibly lucky to have their unwavering support and understanding even at the toughest of times. I would also like to acknowledge the support and assistance provided by the faculty staff in the Departments of Chemistry (Cécile (NMR), Alan (HPLC), and Chris (MS)) and Biochemical Engineering (Ronnie, Zoe, and Adam). Their expert knowledge and support were instrumental in facilitating my research work. Though we are now all scattered throughout the world I would like to thank former members of the Paco group; Alex, Amit, Tom, Pavan, Andrey, Sameh, Charlotte, Carlos and Teyfik. From the Overton group I would like to thank Ana, Alex, and Parissa. All the hardships were made so much easier through working with such welcoming, genuine people and I am honoured to call them my friends. I would also like to give a notable mention to Menisha, who has continually supported every step of the way. I can say with certainty that I am only here today due to her selflessness and reassurance, and for that I will always be thankful. Lastly, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my family. Their unconditional love, unwavering support, and sacrifices have been the cornerstone of my academic journey from a small boy to the man I am today. I am forever grateful for their belief in me and their constant encouragement. I am grateful to the BBSRC and MIBTP, for their financial support, which enabled me to pursue my doctoral studies and carry out the research presented in this thesis.
