Professor Andrew Baldwin
Andy is Professor of Physical Chemistry and teaches all chemistry students in lectures. He is also seconded to the Rosalind Franklin Institute as Director of biomolecular NMR. He teaches all year groups in Physical Chemistry.
Our research focuses on using biomolecular NMR techniques to study the biophysical basis of function, and malfunction, of proteins in health and disease. We combine advanced solution and solids NMR spectroscopy techniques with complementary methods such as electron microscopy in order to study the structure and dynamics of proteins and relate this to their behaviour in the cell. The work of the group is therefore inherently inter-disciplinary. Novel experimental methodology and the computational techniques necessary to synthesize the information are developed in the group together with the molecular biology techniques required to make relevant high quality samples for detailed scrutiny.
Andrew studied Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, as a member of Trinity College. He completed his PhD in the laboratory of Chris Dobson in the department of Chemistry, studying the biophysical properties of amyloid fibrils. He then moved to Toronto to develop novel NMR techniques for studying protein dynamics under Prof Lewis Kay, with EMBO and CIHR postdoctoral fellowships. This work was subsequently recognised by a presentation of a Harrison-Meldola medal in 2013. Since September 2012, Andrew has been part of Oxford Chemistry as both a BBSRC David Phillip’s fellow and a Fitzjames fellow of Merton College. He is currently Professor in Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, and a fellow of Pembroke College. He was awarded the 2016 BRSG-NMRDG NMR prize for ‘excellence in magnetic resonance’ and the 2019 Norman Heatley Award in 2020 fir his work on understanding the biology of membraneless organelles.
