Macromolecular crystallography

Ailsa Powell is a Principal Industrial Liaison Scientist - Life Sciences, responsible for supporting industrial clients using the MX, and XChem fragment screening facilities here at Diamond.

With a background in macromolecular crystallography and protein biochemistry, she joined the Industrial Liaison Office in 2018 after working in the biotech sector, developing biological crystallographic techniques.

Throughout her career, her main scientific focus has been using macromolecular crystallography to understand drug targets as a foundation for drug development. She has worked with potential drug targets in the fields of antimicrobials and antimalarials and has also investigated the structural basis of antibiotic resistance.
