Biography

Jacqui Matthews' research focuses on understanding how proteins achieve important biological functions and how their activities can be regulated artificially to design specific protein inhibitors. She investigates protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions that occur during normal cellular development and compares these interactions in disease states such as T-cell leukemia, beta-thalassemia, and breast cancer. Her lab employs a range of techniques from molecular biology, biophysical methods, and structural biology to explore these fundamental processes. Matthews' work aligns with the Faculty of Science’s Research Strengths including Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, and Cancer Research.
