Geoffrey Grime

Dr. Geoffrey Grime is a Research Fellow at the Advanced Technology Institute, University of Surrey. His work focuses on structural biology, materials science, and ion beam analysis. He leads research into protein structures using cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography, with contributions to understanding the regulation of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) and the structural dynamics of proteins like insulin. His expertise also extends to space materials science, analyzing hypervelocity impacts on the Hubble Space Telescope and cosmic dust effects. Grime develops advanced ion beam techniques, including proton beam writing and microPIXE for elemental analysis, with applications in biomedical imaging and materials characterization. His interdisciplinary research bridges biology, physics, and engineering, emphasizing high-resolution analytical methods and their implications for structural biology and technological applications.
