Antonio Calabrese

Antonio Calabrese is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Leeds, UK. His research focuses on structural biology, protein dynamics, and membrane protein folding using advanced mass spectrometry and cryo-EM techniques.

• Current Position: Associate Professor (2024–)
• Previous Roles: University Academic Fellow (2020–2024), Postdoctoral Research Fellow (2013–2019)
• Education: PhD in Chemical Sciences from University of Adelaide (2009–2013)

His work explores protein conformational changes, amyloid aggregation, and viral RNA chaperone mechanisms. He has developed PyXlinkViewer for crosslinking data visualization and contributed to understanding SurA/BAM complex interactions in bacterial membrane protein assembly.

Recent publications address RNA oligonucleotide inhibition of TDP-43 aggregation, structural mapping of amyloid intermediates, and biophysical characterization of protein-nanodisc systems. He actively reviews for journals like Nature Communications and Angewandte Chemie.
