Watching Amyloid Form: Structural Insights and New Opportunities for Intervention in Disease
PLEASE NOTE - THIS LECTURE STARTS AT 1PM
Sheena Radford completed her BSc in Biochemistry at the University of Birmingham and her PhD at the University of Cambridge. After postdoctoral positions at the University of Oxford, she established her independent group at the University of Leeds as a lecturer, becoming Professor in 2000. She holds a Royal Society Research Professorship, and is Astbury Professor of Biophysics. Her main research group focuses on mechanisms of protein folding and misfolding in amyloid diseases, and other groups work on the outer membrane proteins of Gram-negative bacteria, and extending the shelf-life of pharmaceuticals. Her awards include Fellowships of the Royal Society, the Academy of Medical Sciences and Royal Society of Biology, and Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to molecular biology.
