Head of Henrry Wellcome Unit for Biological EPR
I obtained a BSc in Chemistry from the University of Sheffield in 1987 and a Dr. rer. nat. from the Department of Chemistry at the Free University of Berlin (Germany) in 1993. I pursued post-doctoral research at the Technical University Berlin (Germany) (1993-1995), the Commissariat de l’Energie Atomique, Saclay, France (1995-1998) and the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University Frankfurt (Germany) (1998-2006).
I am currently a Reader in the School of Chemistry, Pharmacy and Pharmacology at the University of East Anglia, Norwich where I joined the faculty in 2007. To coincide with my appointment I won a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award. I lead biological EPR research in the Henry Wellcome Laboratory.
My present research aims to elucidate structure / function / dynamics relationships in biomacromolecules and macromolecular complexes. Particular emphasis being on the application, and expansion, of electron paramagnetic resonance methods to study membrane proteins.
