Research groups
Find out more about our research groups below. Details of our honorary group leader profiles can be found in the Honorary groups page.
Adamska Group - Genomic and evolutionary basis of animal development »
Our research is aimed at uncovering the genetic and genomic basis of morphological complexity in animals, from both developmental and evolutionary perspectives.
Brock Group - Membrane Structural & Synthetic Biology »
The Brock lab loves membrane proteins; looking at them in atomic detail, discovering new drug molecules, and engineering them to create new biosensors. Join us!
Broer Group - Membrane transport and nutrition »
Broer group studies the role of amino acid transport in the onset of insulin resistance and the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism.
Casarotto Group - Biomolecular Interactions »
The Casarotto Group seeks to carry out research that explores how the structural properties of biological molecules can impact on the biological process.
Corry Group - Transport proteins and computational biophysics »
Corry group's research examines the structure and function of membrane proteins.
Fahrer Group - Immunology »
We are working on a very simple and inexpensive cancer immunotherapy treatment, and a bioinformatics study looking for novel proteins in different genomes.
Furlong Group - Bacterial Structural Defence »
We aim to identify new potential targets for antibacterial agents, using structural biology, biochemistry and bacteriology methods.
Howitt Group - Transporter structure and function »
Howitt group explores how transporters function and aim to understand their molecular mechanisms.
Jackson Group - SynBio »
Our research interests lie at the interface between biology, chemistry and physics
Lehane Group - Antimalarial drug action and resistance »
We study membrane transport processes in the Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria.
Leyton Group - Assembly, function, and applications of nanoscale bacterial surface structures »
We study how autotransporters are assembled into bacterial outer membranes, and how they function to mediate infection and disease once they get there.
Maier Group - Molecular mechanisms of malaria pathogenesis »
The Maier Group focusses on the identification of molecules involved in malaria pathogenesis and transmission.
Saliba Group - Physiology and biochemistry of the malaria parasite »
The Saliba Group is investigating vitamin utilisation pathways in the red blood cell stage of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.
Spry Group - Drug discovery for infectious diseases »
The Spry group focuses on validating new drug targets and identifying new drugs to combat key pathogenic microbes responsible for human disease.
Tham Group - Understanding chytrid infection biology »
