Post-Doc currently in Sheena Radford's lab (Leeds). Previously worked for Wei-Feng Xue (Kent). Interested in amyloid fibril structures. Except for the bits that can be resolved to high resolution resolution by cryo-EM. Terrible golfer.

But then we had a surprise – cana and a related inhibitor also profoundly change the final structure of amyloid fibrils.

This suggests that early events in amyloid formation are crucial for determining the subsequent structures of fibril polymorphs.

I realised it would be easier to show (than tell) some of this so I made CoFiSim, which simulates the fibril assembly (by numerically integrating rate equations) of 2 structures with independent rate constants competing for the same pool of monomer colab.research.google.com/drive/1DTCco...
