Nicholas M Taylor is an Associate Professor and group leader at the Center for Protein Research (CPR) at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, where he has been since 2018. His research focuses on understanding complex biological molecular machineries, particularly how proteins are transferred across lipid bilayers. Taylor employs techniques such as cryo-electron microscopy to investigate the structure and mechanism of these systems, with a special interest in secretion systems in bacteria and membrane transport proteins. He aims to elucidate shared principles and fundamental differences in membrane transport systems, contributing insights that could inform structure-based drug design. Prior to his current position, he held several postdoctoral research roles in prestigious institutions including the University of Basel and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Taylor has a PhD in Molecular Biology from EMBL Heidelberg University, where he defended his thesis on RNA polymerase III-specific transcription factors in 2011. His award-winning work has garnered multiple research awards, including the Junior Research Fund and various travel awards for scientific presentations.
