Susan Crennell

Susan Crennell is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Bath. Her research focuses on glycoside hydrolases, protein thermostability, and structural biology, with applications in biotechnology and pathogenesis. She collaborates with institutions like Lund University and the Centre for Extremophile Research.

Her work explores enzyme mechanisms in extremophiles, such as Rhodothermus marinus cellulase, using techniques like X-ray crystallography and computational modeling. She also investigates enzymes involved in plant pathogens and human disease intervention. Key projects include a BBSRC-funded biofuel initiative (2017–2022).

Recent articles highlight interdisciplinary education innovations and advances in immunology, including protein structure-function relationships and complement system modulation. Her research aligns with UN SDGs addressing sustainable energy and health.
