Michael Webster joins the John Innes Centre as a Group Leader

Published on

Michael Webster shares insights into his research, scientific interests and career so far as he joins the John Innes Centre as a Group Leader. Michael completed his PhD and first postdoc in Lori Passmore’s group in the LMB’s Structural Studies Division. He was drawn to the LMB for its historical importance in the determination of biomolecular structures and genetic information. He worked on solving molecular structures using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) during the ‘resolution revolution’. His work will now focus on studying the molecular machinery behind photosynthetic gene expression. More…
