Joe Brock is a researcher at the Australian National University, focusing on biological membranes that differentiate cells from their extracellular environment, contributing to disease-causing mechanisms. His research primarily employs Cryo-Electron Microscopy to visualize membrane proteins at near-atomic details, aiming to understand their functional context in health and disease. Notable aspects of his work include investigating how resistance transporter proteins transport specific drugs and how receptors recognize specific molecules to influence cell behavior. Additionally, he leads a research group that utilizes synthetic biology to engineer membrane proteins in yeast for the development of living biosensors for disease diagnostics, aiming for high-yield production of valuable proteins. Brock's academic qualifications include a PhD in Biological Chemistry, with a focus on the structural investigation of human glutathione transferase omega 1. He is actively involved in several collaborative projects, addressing significant challenges in the fields of structural biology and biotechnology.
