Fibrous protein research
Fibrous proteins include microtubules and actin in the cytoskeleton, collagen and amyloid fibres. A number of students are working on projects in this field using a wide variety of molecular biology and biophysical techniques.

Jonathan Armond
is studying microtubule force generation using atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy and differential interference contrast, in conjunction with biophysical modelling.
