Biography
Dr Adam Sedgwick is a Lecturer in Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at King's College London. He joined King’s College London as a Lecturer in Chemistry in 2023.
He received his MChem (2014) and his PhD (2018) from the University of Bath under the supervision of Professor Tony D. James and Professor Steven D. Bull. Subsequently, Adam moved to the US to work within the group of Professor Jonathan L Sessler at the University of Texas at Austin (2018–2021).
From 2021-2023, he was a Glasstone Research Fellow at the University of Oxford and a Junior Research Fellow at Jesus College. Adam’s research interests are towards synthetic method development for biomedical applications.

Research
The Multiscale Biofilm Research Hub (MBRH)
The Multiscale Biofilm Research Hub (MBRH) has been established to promote interdisciplinary interactions and focus microbial biofilm related research at King’s.
Antimicrobial resistance and biofilm therapeutics
Work involves understanding how biofilms contribute to antimicrobial resistance and the creation of new anti-biofilm therapeutics.
Project status: Ongoing
Synthetic biology and technological advancements
Biofilms are being studied to inspire the development of new materials and other technologies, and new approaches to probe biofilm formation.
Project status: Ongoing
Microbes in Health & Disease
The Microbes in Health & Diseases Research Interest Group aims to foster collaboration across departments and faculties at KCL to explore the multifaceted role microbes play in health and disease.
Features
Meet our new academic staff from the Department of Chemistry
We interview some of our researchers who started this academic year.
