Structural biology

Structural Neurobiology
Developing cutting edge techniques to image structures in the brain on the molecular scale so we can identify early structural changes leading to disease onset.

Structural Glycobiology
Complex carbohydrate molecules are essential for life. These diverse structures are found on every human cell and participate in a huge range of structural and signalling functions within cells, and between cells and the extracellular matrix.

MicroED
MicroED is an emerging technology that exploits the strong interaction of electrons to reveal the structures of molecules from vanishingly small crystals.

Cryo-ptycho-tomography
Developing a novel technique using cryo-electron ptychography to perform tomographic characterisation of biological processes at cellular scales, enabling detailed study of rare and complex structures in their native environments.
