معرفی
Bernadette Byrne is a Professor and Associate Dean (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, Imperial College London, within the Department of Life Sciences. She leads research on membrane protein structure and function, focusing on transporters, receptors, and advanced vibrational spectroscopy techniques for antibody behavior analysis in collaboration with Prof. Sergei Kazarian. Her work is funded by BBSRC, EPSRC, MRC, and EU programs.
Affiliations include the Agri Futures Lab, Bacterial Pathogenesis Group, Centre for Structural Biology, and Industrial Biotechnology Hub. She has served as an external examiner at the University of Cambridge and University of Edinburgh, and chairs the BBSRC Committee D. Research interests span membrane biology, biochemistry, structural biology, and biophysics. Recent studies emphasize detergent engineering for protein stabilization and industrial bioprocessing challenges.
Her publications highlight innovations in membrane mimetic systems, GPCR signaling, and protein aggregation analysis. She actively contributes to interdisciplinary initiatives such as the Chemical Biology CDT and the Membrane Receptor Network.
