  • Emeritus Appointments

    • Professor Charlie Bristow, Emeritus Professor of Sedimentology
    • Professor Andrew Carter: Emeritus Professor of Earth Sciences. Professor Carter is a specialist in thermochronology and geochronology, methods used to define rock formation ages, sediment provenance and rock uplift history. He was awarded the International Dodson prize in 2018. His research covers understanding Asian tectonics in relation to the formation of the Himalayas and Tibet, the glaciation history of Antarctica, and opening of the Scotia Sea. This research sheds light on the key changes in the Earth's climate over the last 50 million years. Email Professor Andrew Carter.
    • Dr Geoff Coast: Emeritus Reader in Comparative Endocrinology.聽Dr Coast's聽research focuses on insect neuroendocrinology, particularly the endocrine control of excretory processes. Investigations study the effect of diuretic hormones at the cellular level (receptor binding, second messenger and ion transport studies), on the secretion of primary urine by isolated Malpighian tubules, and on fluid excretion in the intact insect. His research also covers the release of peptide hormones from neurohaemal organs and their degradation in the circulation.
    • Professor Hilary Downes: Emerita Professor of Geochemistry.
    • Professor Graham Goldsworthy: Emeritus Professor of Biology.聽In 1986 Graham Goldwsorthy was appointed Professor of Biology and head of the department at 糖心logo入口. While at 糖心logo入口, his interests聽in insect neuropeptides have included structure/activity relationships; molecular modelling; structure prediction including CD analysis; the synthesis and design of novel analogues; studies of their actions in the insect; and characterisation and identification of their second messenger systems and receptors.
    • Professor Nick Keep, Emeritus Professor of Biomolecular Science. View Professor Nick Keep's Fellowship page.
    • Dr Andrew Milner: Emeritus Reader in Vertebrate Palaeontology.聽Dr Milner's聽principal research programmes are concerned with the structure, biogeography and evolution of amphibians, ancient and modern. Research on early amphibians, especially those of the order temnospondyli, includes聽investigations on their morphology, evolution, biogeography, palaeobiology and circumstances of their death and preservation. Research on聽modern amphibian groups looks at their origin and early diversification, historically a problem area for biologists because of an apparently poor fossil record.
    • Professor David Moss, Emeritus Professor of Biomolecular Structure.聽Visit Professor David Moss' Fellowship page. .
    • Professor Elena Orlova: Emerita Professor of Macromolecular Systems.
    • Dr Rex Palmer: Emeritus Reader in Structural Crystallography.聽Dr Palmer's聽research interests focus on the structure and function of biologically active molecules in general with particular reference to: ribonuclease structure and function; mistletoe lectin, sambucus niger lectin, RIP toxins and other lectin protein structures; drug design and small molecule crystallography; cyclosporin structures; sodium channel binding drugs; and molecular modelling and dynamics.
    • Professor Gerald Roberts: Professor of Earthquake Geology.
    • Professor Helen Saibil: Emerita Professor of Structural Biology.
    • Professor Adrian Shepherd: Emeritus Professor of Computational Biology.
    • Professor Christine Slingsby:聽Emerita Professor of Structural Biology.聽Professor Slingsby's聽research interests include: the origin of the vertebrate eye lens; interactions of crystallins, refractive index and transparency; the structure of alpha-crystallin and related small heat shock proteins; changes to eye lens crystallins in cataract; the role of small heat shock proteins in neuromuscular systems; and small heat shock proteins in aging and disease.
    • Professor Michael Thompson:聽Emeritus Professor of Analytical Chemistry.聽Professor Thompson's聽research interests include statistical aspects of calibration and data quality in analytical chemistry, food safety, chemometrics, metrology, sampling quality, and geochemistry and environmental chemistry. He is the recipient of several awards including聽Honorary Life Membership of the International Association of Geoanalysts, the Harvey Wiley Award, the L S Theobald Lectureship and the SAC Gold Medal.聽Email Professor Michael Thompson.
    • Professor Bonnie Wallace: Emerita Professor of Molecular Biophysics.
