Research interests
David Timson is a protein biochemist. His research focuses on understanding how the structures of proteins influence their functions, with particular relevance to those proteins implicated in human disease and in biotechnology. Current research areas include:
1. Proteins of human galactose metabolism and how they are affected by the inherited metabolic disease, galactosemia.
2. Calcium binding proteins and metabolic enzymes from helminth parasites.
3. Quinone oxidoreductases
4. Stress mitigation in biofuel production
5. The biochemistry underlying fetal alcohol specturm disorders (collaboration led by Prof Paul Gard)
