Speaker

David Brockwell (Associate Professor) was appointed to the academic staff in Leeds in 2004 after post-doctoral work at the same institution. He obtained a first degree in Pharmacy and a PhD in Medicinal Chemistry, both at the University of Manchester, UK. Dr Brockwell’s research broadly comprises three fields: (i) using AFM to characterise and rationally modulate the mechanical strength of proteins and their complexes; (ii) the folding mechanisms of outer membrane proteins and the effects of periplasmic factors and the BAM complex on their folding; and (iii) the aggregation of biopharmaceuticals.
