Dr. Paul Barlow

Biography

Professor Paul N Barlow specializes in Structural Biology, focusing on the human complement system and its proteins. His research emphasizes the intricate mechanisms of protein structure and function, particularly through nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and immunology. With decades of experience, Professor Barlow has contributed to a deeper understanding of how complement proteins can work in a coordinated manner to attack pathogens and mediate inflammation. His interest also extends to developing therapeutic strategies that could modulate the complement system, which is known to play a significant role in various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Recent advancements include achieving atomic resolution insights into the structures and interactions of these proteins. He actively collaborates with crystallographers and employs sophisticated techniques such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy to elucidate the complex architecture of protein interactions.
