Professor Jody Mason

Jody’s research focuses on how proteins interact with each other. A major aim of the group is to be able to devise rules to predict which proteins are likely to interact with each other (and how stable these interactions will be) from those which do not. He uses computational algorithms and a wealth of experimental data to assist in this goal. In particular new algorithms to increase the accuracy of predictions and enable the design of inhibitors of proteins implicated in disease need to be developed, as well as the design of protein-protein interactions to apply in synthetic biology-based approaches.
