Dr Jess Cross, who works as an EPSRC Fellow across Biochemistry and Chemistry in collaboration with the Mark Dodding and Dek Woolfson labs, was awarded the best selected oral presentation at the 37th European Peptide Symposium in Florence last week. This is one of the major meetings on peptide science.
Jess presented work from the Woolfson and Dodding labs using de novo protein design to allosterically regulate kinesin-1 motors in cells. This work has recently been published in Nature Chemical Biology.
Congratulations, Jess!
