The award recognises the department’s commitment to achieving gender equality across the institution and the progress that it is making in this area. It is valid until April
Read MoreSingle-molecule studies can reveal key molecular behaviours that are difficult or impossible to discern at the ensemble level. At the ISMB Biophysics Centre, we are planning trials of new, user-friendly instruments that enable the measurement of protein localisation, conformation, mass and force at the single-molecule level. If your research would benefit from any of these technologies,
