Structural Biology

Our division focuses on discovering new medicines through studies of the three-dimensional structure of large biological molecules that are either targets for drugs or potential therapeutic agents.

About

We aim to understand how crucial biological pathways are controlled by individual molecules and the ‘partners’ they interact with.

Particular interests include:

  • cell growth and survival
  • blood cell generation
  • immune responses
  • blood sugar regulation
  • development of cancer

The detailed maps of targets we generate provide the ‘blueprints’ for creating and optimising small molecules that alter these processes and have the potential to become new drugs.
