Halina Mikolajek

Dr Halina Mikolajek is a Research Fellow in X-ray Crystallography and NMR at the School of Biological Sciences, University of Southampton, within the Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences. Her work focuses on protein structure-function relationships through advanced biophysical techniques.

• PhD in X-ray Crystallography (University of Southampton, 2008)
• BSc in Biochemistry with Physiology (University of Southampton, 2004)

Research combines:

• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
• X-ray crystallography
• Isothermal titration Calorimetry (ITC)

Investigating:

• Elongation factor 2 kinase (EF2K) activation mechanisms
• Calcium/Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase regulation
• Protein-ligand interaction dynamics

Coordinated teaching in Core Skills in the Life Sciences (BIO1020) while supervising undergraduate and postgraduate researchers in the Molecular and Cellular Biosciences group.
