ABOUT US
Innovating Protein Nanotechnologies
for Immune Activation
Developing a new vaccine is the biggest
contribution one can make to global health.
We are developing new vaccine
technologies to overcome major health
challenges, including malaria and HIV.
Our protein assemblies are being advanced
to activate the immune system to kill
cancer, identify the spread of cancer cells,
and image tumours for early diagnosis.
We have established a range of
technologies to transform how proteins can
be connected, for vaccines, new materials
and diagnostics.
EXPLORING AND ADVANCING HUMAN LIFE
The Department of Biochemistry at Oxford is one of the largest
in the world, studying life from the levels of atoms to organisms.
We are also part of a network of researchers
from basic physical sciences (physics, chemistry, engineering)
and from translational medicine up to clinical trials
(Institute of Molecular Medicine, Oncology, Jenner Institute).
MEET THE EXPERTS
We are a mix of graduate students, postdoctoral and
undergraduate researchers with diverse backgrounds and
nationalities, seeking to create new directions in synthetic biology.
HOWARTH LAB
WELCOME
HOWARTH LAB HOMEPAGE
Inspired by extraordinary molecular features from the natural world,
our research developes new approaches for disease prevention, diagnosis and therapy,
as well as for fundamental insight into how biological systems function.
Any sufficiently advanced technology
is indistinguishable from magic.
