Biography
Prof Andrew Ellisdon is a VCA Mid-Career Fellow and Head of the Structural Biology of Signalling and Cancer Laboratory at the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI) where he runs a team of three postdoctoral research fellows, one research assistants, and three PhD students. His team has a particular research focus on capturing an atomic resolution view of “signalling in action” by observing protein complexes formed by critical tumour-suppressor proteins and oncogenes. This resolution is enabled by combining recent advances in single-particle cryo-electron microscopy with crystallography and classical biochemistry.
