Professor Ian Goodfellow is a leading researcher in the Department of Pathology at the University of Cambridge, focusing on virology and the mechanisms of calicivirus replication. His work investigates the novel mechanisms of translation initiation involved in calicivirus protein synthesis and how these viruses interact with host cell translation factors. Goodfellow's current research involves a detailed proteomic analysis of the calicivirus translation initiation complex and aims to characterize the viral replication complex formed by positive-stranded RNA viruses. The projects utilize a range of imaging and biochemical techniques to identify key RNA-protein interactions necessary for calicivirus replication, gaining insights into the viral life cycle. This research draws significant funding from various sources including BBSRC, Marie Curie, MRC, and the Wellcome Trust. Professor Goodfellow is not currently taking postgraduate students, but he does accept consultancy opportunities. His contributions have significant implications for understanding viral pathogenesis and developing potential therapeutic strategies.
