Structural studies of dynein

Welcome to Andrew Carter’s Lab.

We work on the structure and mechanism of the motor protein dynein using a combination of X-ray crystallography and advanced single molecule techniques.

Please navigate the pages to find out more about the lab’s research, members as well as the opportunities that are available to join us.
