Section of Structural Biology
Chairman: Professor David Barford FRS
Research teams in the Section of Structural Biology apply techniques of X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, biophysics, biochemistry and molecular biology to understand the structural basis for the function and regulation of proteins and complexes implicated in cancer.
Our programmes cover a range of key molecular systems and processes, including signal transduction, cell-cycle control, transcriptional regulation, targeted protein destruction, chaperone function, DNA repair, chromatin modification and chromosome dynamics. In addition to our basic science programmes we maintain close links with groups in The Institute and beyond involved in developing new therapeutics targeted at these systems.
