معرفی
Dr. Theodoros Karamanos is a Lecturer and Wellcome Trust/Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellow at the Department of Life Sciences, Imperial College London, within the Faculty of Natural Sciences. His research focuses on using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to study protein folding, misfolding, and chaperone-mediated proteostasis. He leads a lab investigating transient protein species critical for biological functions, particularly in chaperone complexes and amyloid assembly pathways.
His academic journey includes a tenure-track position at the University of Leeds (Astbury Centre) and current leadership at Imperial's Centre for Structural Biology. He has mentored students like Noor (President's PhD scholar) and Hasina (MRes candidate), emphasizing structural biology and protein dynamics.
Key research areas include NMR methodology advancements, AI integration in structural studies, and understanding molecular mechanisms of disease. He has secured prestigious fellowships and published extensively on chaperone complexes, protein aggregation, and NMR applications.
His lab recently acquired Bruker's InsightMR flow device to study NMR under continuous flow, expanding capabilities in dynamic protein analysis. Collaborative projects with Professors Wilson and Woolfson highlight his work on β-strand interactions and IDP behavior.
