Public Lecture » Stephen Curry
Imperial College, London UK
Stephen Curry, a native of Northern Ireland, is a Professor of Structural Biology at Imperial College where he teaches life sciences students at undergraduate and postgraduate level. His main research interests currently are in structural analysis — mainly using X-ray crystallography— of the molecular basis of replication RNA viruses such as foot-and-mouth disease virus and noroviruses (which include the infamous ‘winter vomiting bug’).
Curry is also a regular science writer. Since 2008 he has been writing regularly about his research and the scientific life past and present on his Reciprocal Space blog at (http://occamstypewriter.org/scurry/) and the Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/stephen-curry). He has a particular interest in the history of X-ray crystallography and made several short films on the subject in collaboration with the Royal Institution (http://www.richannel.org/collections/2013/crystallography)
In addition Curry is a founder member and vice-chair of Science is Vital, a UK group that campaigns on scientific issues, and is also on the board of directors of the Campaign for Science and Engineering.
