Dr Oliver Redfern
Post-Doctoral Research fellow
I work as part of the Midwest Consortium for Structural Genomics, aiding target selection and analysis of the novelty of the protein structures they produce. In parallel, I also develop methods for homology recognition and function prediction from protein structure and sequence.
Academic Background
- 1998-2001 BSc(Hons) First Biochemistry, University of Warwick
- 2001-2005 PhD Biochemistry (Computational Biology), University College London
Research Interests
My PhD was focussed on developing novel methods to enhance the speed of structure classification in the CATH database. With this aim, I developed the structure comparison method CATHEDRAL to effectively decompose whole protein structures into their component domains. I have also been involved with the analysis of large, functional diverse domain superfamilies in CATH, and as a consequence have developed a method called FLORA to discriminate between differetn functional families within these superfamilies.
