معرفی
Carolyn Moores is a Professor of Structural Biology at the School of Natural Sciences, Birkbeck, University of London. Her research focuses on cytoskeletal dynamics, particularly microtubule regulation and actin cytoskeleton organization using cryo-electron microscopy. She leads projects on malaria parasite kinesins, Arp2/3 complex function, and neuronal cytoskeleton mechanisms. Her work is supported by grants from the ERC, MRC, and BBSRC. She has supervised four doctoral students and teaches Advanced Cell Biology and related modules.
Education: PhD from Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (1999), BA in Biochemistry from University of Oxford (1995). Professional memberships include The Biochemical Society, Biophysical Society, and American Society for Cell Biology.
Research interests span microtubule-associated proteins, kinesin motors, actin dynamics, and their roles in health/disease. Recent publications highlight structural insights into microtubule dynamics, malaria parasite motor proteins, and Arp2/3 complex mechanisms. Awards include a 2016 Fellowship from the Higher Education Academy.
Her lab collaborates internationally on projects like the ArpComplexity initiative funded by the EU, exploring actin networks in muscle development. She also contributes to research on malaria parasite cell division mechanisms through BBSRC grants.
