Conor Crawford is a Royal Society–Research Ireland University Research Fellow at Trinity College Dublin.

Before Trinity, he was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces and a Walter Benjamin Fellow at the Leibniz Institute for Molecular Pharmacology (FMP). He did his undergrad at University College Dublin in Science, majoring in Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology, and his Ph.D. in carbohydrate chemistry and chemical biology with Prof. Stefan Oscarson.

His research has been recognised by the Institute of Chemistry of Ireland and the Royal Irish Academy with the Kathleen Lonsdale Chemistry Prize.

Killian studied in Lyon, France, completing an engineering degree in chemistry at CPE Lyon and a Master's in Organic Synthesis and Bioactive Molecules at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, along with a PharmD.

His training spans carbohydrate chemistry, from his Master's work on synthetic carbohydrate antigens and glycolipids with Dr Michele Fiore, to medicinal chemistry, from his PharmD project on kinase inhibitors.

He joined the group in September 2026 and works at the interface of carbohydrate chemistry and chemical biology.

Hendrik studied chemistry in Germany, completing a BSc at the University of Rostock and an MSc at the University of Göttingen.

His training includes organic synthesis and catalysis, from his Bachelor's work, to protein biochemistry and biophysics, from his Master's thesis with Prof. Claudia Steinem.

He joined the group in 2026 and works at the interface of carbohydrate chemistry and chemical biology.
