Professor Adam Nelson
University of Leeds
Professor Adam Nelson is Head of High Throughput Discovery at the Rosalind Franklin Institute, Professor of Chemical Biology at the University of Leeds, and Deputy Director of the Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology.
He obtained his PhD from the University of Cambridge (supervisor: Dr Stuart Warren) and undertook postdoctoral research at the University of Manchester (supervisor: Prof. Jim Thomas) before joining the academic staff at the University of Leeds in 1998.
His research at the interface between chemistry and biology has been recognised through awards including the RSC Meldola medal (2001), the RSC Corday-Morgan medal (2008) and the European Federation of Medicinal Chemistry UCB-Ehrlich award (2018).
High Throughput Discovery
The High Throughput Discovery Lab aims to accelerate the discovery of novel bioactive molecules and chemistries which enable understanding, and modulation of, biomedical mechanisms.
MicroED
MicroED is an emerging technology that exploits the strong interaction of electrons to reveal the structures of molecules from vanishingly small crystals.
