Dr. David Gell - Structural Biologist

Dr Dave Gell is a protein scientist with close to three decades of research experience at the bench. Hailing from Liverpool and Yorkshire in the UK, he completed his PhD in protein biochemistry at the University of Cambridge, then spent ten years training in structural biology (protein NMR and x-ray crystallography) as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Sydney. Dave then set up a research group at the University of Tasmania, where he now holds an adjunct position. His research has been supported by fellowships and research grants from the Wellcome Trust (UK), the ARC and the NHMRC. He has enjoyed collaborations with groups in Australia, Europe and the US to make meaningful contributions in many areas of biology, including neuroscience, cancer, red blood cell production and host-microbe interactions. This work has received over 3400 citations (Web of Science) and includes publications in high-profile journals such as Cell, Nature and the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
