Our group is interested in the structural and functional characterisation of membrane proteins that are involved in bacterial multidrug resistance and human diseases. We use protein X-ray crystallography for their structure determination.

We develop and use a variety of biophysical methods to characterise the interactions of biological macromolecules in solution and in the cell. These include proteins (soluble and membrane bound), protein/DNA complexes and nanoparticles.

We use a combination of X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, biophysical methods and biochemistry to investigate how a variety of different enzymes achieve catalysis.

The Collaborative Computational Project for electron cryo-microscopy (CCP-EM) supports users and developers in biological EM. The three principal aims are:

CCP4 exists to produce and support a world-leading, integrated suite of programs that allows researchers to determine macromolecular structures by X-ray crystallography, and other biophysical techniques.

The Chaban Group is based at eBIC, Diamond Light Source.

In situ imaging of viral production in cells.

The Davies Group is based at eBIC, Diamond Light Source.

Etcembly, based in the Atlas Centre at Harwell Campus is a Generative AI (artificial intelligence) T Cell Receptor (TCR) discovery engineering company.

Epigenetic modifications (reversible, heritable genetic changes that occur without changes in DNA sequence) lead to chromatin remodelling, altered gene expression and changes in the cellular phenotype.

Hough Group's research uses advanced structural biology and related methods to understand the structure and function of metalloproteins.
