معرفی
**John Schwabe** is a **Professor of Structural Biology** and **Head of the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology** at the **University of Leicester**. His career includes leadership roles in academic departments and research groups. He holds a **ScD (2014)** from the University of Cambridge, a **PhD (1991)** in Structural Biology, and a **BA (Hons) Biochemistry (1987)** from Oxford University.
**Research Interests**: Focus on structural biology, regulation of gene expression, molecular mechanisms of nuclear receptors, epigenetic processes (e.g., HDAC complexes), and transcriptional repression. His work bridges structural insights with functional studies in cellular processes.
**Awards**: Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award (2013), Wellcome Trust Senior Investigator (2013), and the Max Perutz Prize (1991). He has secured significant funding, including a £2.39M Wellcome Trust Senior Investigator Award (2014–2020).
**Leadership & Grants**: Organized major conferences (e.g., EMBO Nuclear Receptors meetings), led interdisciplinary research themes, and coordinated EU-funded training networks. His lab includes ~16 researchers, emphasizing collaborative science and training.
**Key Contributions**: Pioneered studies on nuclear receptor-ligand interactions, HDAC regulation, and the structural basis of transcriptional repression. His work has advanced understanding of epigenetic mechanisms in health and disease.
