Rebecca Beavil

Rebecca Beavil is a researcher at King's College London, specializing in immunology and structural biology. Her work focuses on immunoglobulins, allergy mechanisms, and asthma-related biomarkers. She has led projects such as 'The functional significance of CD23 oligomers' (MRC-funded, 1997–2000). Her research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being.

Her research interests include the structural and functional analysis of IgE/IgD antibodies, allergen interactions, and FRET-based biosensor development. She collaborates internationally on projects involving protein engineering and immune checkpoint modulation.

Key achievements include pioneering studies on IgD crystal structures and developing hydrogel-based biosensors for real-time MMP activity monitoring. Her work bridges fundamental immunology with translational applications in allergy treatment and diagnostics.

• Primary Investigator: MRC-funded project (1997–2000)
• Over 30 peer-reviewed articles in journals like Scientific Reports and Journal of Biological Chemistry
• Co-developed anti-IgD nanobody tools and FRET-modified hydrogels
