The BBC recently featured our research facilities on Look North. Read more about the Covid19 research currently ongoing at the Astbury Biostructure Laboratory electron microscope facility. The Astbury Biostructure Laboratory Electron Microscopy Facility is currently offering access to state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopes for COVID-19 research. A research group from the University of York is taking advantage...
Congratulations to Alex O’Neill who has been promoted to Professor of Antimicrobial Research.
Congratulations to Ste Muench (pictured centre) who has been promoted to Associate Professor. Ste is a member of the School of Biomedical Sciences and the Astbury Centre.
The Astbury Centre Biostructure Laboratory has today been awarded the status of an Instruct-ERIC facility, prestigious recognition of the Centre’s world-class technology and expertise in structural biology. This partnership will allow researchers from Europe to access the electron microscopy, NMR and mass spectrometry facilities within the Astbury Centre and the Faculty of Biological Sciences. The...
Congratulations to Lorna Dougan (picture front, third from the right) who has been promoted to Professor. Lorna is based in the School of Physics and is a member of the Astbury Centre
Congratulations to Richard Henderson who received the honorary degree, Doctor of Science at the FBS graduation ceremony on 19th July. Richard is a biophysicist and molecular biologist who was the first to successfully produce a three-dimensional image of a biological molecule at atomic resolution using a technique known as cryo-electron microscopy; for which he was...
Congratulations to Sarah Harris, Qian Wu, Megan Wright and Patricija van Oosten Hawle, (left to right in the photograph) who have all been awarded prestigious prizes in the last few weeks. Dr Sarah Harris from the School of Physics and Astronomy was one of the 12 female scientists and engineers presented with hand-crafted jewellery at...
A team of cycling scientists from the Astbury Biostructure Laboratory at the University of Leeds are pedalling across the UK later this month, to raise money for the human rights charity, the International Justice Mission. During their week-long, 660 mile tour they will be visiting every cryo-electron microscope in the country. The powerful microscopes stand...
Dan Hurdiss, a microbiologist working in the University’s Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology, has just been invited to take part in this year’s Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau, Germany. He was selected from thousands of applicants after impressing organisers with his application and commitment to his subject area. Read the full press release on...
