Oliver J. Harrison

Oliver J. Harrison is a dedicated researcher specializing in structural biology and cell adhesion mechanisms, with affiliations to Biochemistry departments. His work focuses on understanding the molecular and biophysical principles governing cadherin interactions, protein glycosylation pathways, and intercellular adhesion dynamics.

• Education: PhD from Cambridge University/Babraham Institute; BSc (Hons) from Durham University.

Research interests include:

• Structural analysis of classical and non-classical cadherins
• Computational modeling of adhesion under mechanical stress
• O-mannosylation mechanisms in cell adhesion proteins
• Biophysical characterization of protein-binding specificity
• Role of adhesion molecules in tissue morphogenesis
• Intercellular cargo transfer via nectins

His publications from 2005-2021 demonstrate expertise across structural biology, computational modeling, and biochemical pathways. Notable collaborations include labs working on cell adhesion, neurobiology, and vascular biology. Despite no explicit awards listed, his high-impact publications in journals like Cell Reports, Biophysical Journal, and Nature Structural & Molecular Biology indicate significant scientific contributions.
